I would get my son into track, but I've never met someone who throughly enjoys the sport.. I know I hated it lol.
Even my friends who run in the NCAA's can't stand that ****.

They did but no one cares that much about soccer. In these CTE reports it's always football

Same here. I'll basically encourage him to play any sport other than football
I loved it. I just hated that I'm not disciplined enough (nor have the time) to be in my peak shape from 09 to do two-a-days.

I don't even like running, I do it so I am not a fat ***

Depends on how reckless and aggressive the kid plays.
GQ had an article about a kid who developed CTE and eventually committed suicide. The kid knew he developed brain issues from football.

Per agent Dave Rich, all charges were dropped for former #Cowboys WR Lucky Whitehead. Warrant rescinded. Cops had the wrong guy.
YIKES

I think track early is only important to learn how to run properly or I should say efficiently..
It should definitely not be a focus.. but I wouldn't say it's needed.. you can pretty much on your own cut down some common stuff (choppy stride or spinning wheels and unnecessary or uncontained movements)
I mean once you learn proper technique elsewhere, you kinda realize the mistakes you were making in other sports or you become more receptive to hearing about your mistakes
Like it took football and track for me to realize what many swim coaches were yelling at me about.. but I figured I was breaking records, so what could I be doing THAT wrong.. talking like properly doing those sports.. other sports I did but that was just BS stuff or on my Bahamian high school teams that weren't THAT serious

keep hearing people mention removing facemasks. i don't think that'll really help. heads will still hit the ground hard. knees to head. etc etc. concussion issues exist in hockey as well, not to the level of the NFL, but it's still pretty common. i personally think removing facemasks just opens the door to more gorey stuff in football

Not to be too cynical but if ever the NFLPA needed some leverage on the next collective bargaining negotiations,this would be it...
Must be scary being a player and hearing of study after study like that
