S****r or cross country. Football is an injury waiting to happen. It is not "if" it is when what and how serious.

If he has a better chance of succeeding in football, then go for it. But, if his future is in baseball, he will hurt an arm shoulder or knee playing football.

I always love when people bring this kind of stuff up. Sure football has the highest incidence of injury; it has the highest numbers of participation too!!

And if you really think s****r or cross country are not "injuries waiting to happen" you are mistaken. Stress fractures, sprains, muscle imbalances, etc. In s****r, much of the same injuries as football: concussions, broken bones, dislocations; it's all possible.

If a kid wants to play football, let him play football. The memories developed playing high school football are just unbelievable. A kid is only in high school once.
