[QUOTE="steelfrog, post: 2775484, member: 416"] That is such a facile argument. What we are talking about here is what kind of parental leadership we are going to provide to our kids? That's the issue. Kids don't just love things in a vacuum. They don't pop out of the womb looking for a football to toss around. They love things first because their parents put them in positions to do certain things, and oftentimes because they want to please their parents and do what their parents want them to do. And many times, because the parent PUSHES them to do certain things. Obviously there are other cultural/societal influences, but parents are where it starts. And let's not forget, the sport ACTIVELY SUPPRESSES information about the risks, and has paid handsomely for it. [/QUOTE]
