Too rough to play?

 

(The Associated Press) 

The NFL season has begun in full force, and I am looking forward to tonight's Jets-Ravens game.

While E. and I enjoy watching football, it's a whole another issue when it comes to letting baby J. play. Football is one sport that E. has declared off-limits for J. if and when he wants to participate in sports.

Injury is an obvious reason. While playing any sport is a risk, E. argues that football, in particular, can be brutal.

Concussions have become a major concern for the NFL recently, while parents and other groups are working to reduce sports-related injuries in general.

Is there other sports that your son or daughter is not allowed to participate in?
