[QUOTE="Coloradojacket, post: 311021, member: 3070"] I played football from the 5th grade through the 12th. Wishbone, Veer, I formations. I never got a concussion and some of my helmets I wore were not that padded. We were taught fundamentals and came out of a lot of 4 point stances. I played D and O line. When I turned 25 I started playing rugby and played for 10 years. Broken fingers but saw very few concussions. I always told people it hurts as much to tackle someone as it was to be tackled. Again fundamentals. Would I play football again, yep. Does my son play, yep. Do I think one day football will not be the same, yep, as long as women make decisions about their sons playing football. Excerpt from my first Book Jon Smith. Available on Amazon........ “But why would they make a sport like this illegal dad” asked Chris. “Probably because we men liked to play it too much” said Riley. Jon then began to explain the on goings that had made many sports illegal. “It actually started long before the actual laws were passed. At the turn of the century many parents started to look on football as being too violent for their kids. Football, as they said was to rough with too many injuries. As such they adopted other sports that they thought were less tough like soccer. Football fields began to be replaced by soccer fields and so it went. Then in the second decade even soccer was too rough so they changed the rules to forbid any contact and of course they quit keeping score so as not to deflate losers.” [/QUOTE]
