Lol. You guys are too funny. I absolutely believe CTE is real and has / does affect many former and current players in the NFL and even at lower levels. I also believe that although there is still some significant risk at any level, that risk (especially at the HS level) has gone way down in the last 5 years. I know if my kid starts getting his bell rung, my tolerance level will change, but until then I feel the way I feel.
That being said, if he told me tomorrow that he decided he wanted to quit football and focus solely on baseball I would be supportive (and if I'm being honest, a little glad).
