100%.

You can learn the fundamentals w flag football. No need to subject developing brains to unnecessary trauma.

I played football and other sports because I wanted to play, not because of my Dad.

But no, I wouldn't want my kids playing football because it's too dangerous.

I didn’t play football until my freshman year in highschool. Pops wouldn’t let me do pop Warner. I did flag all the way up until that point. When I did play tackle my moves were better than kids who played tackle they whole life. Flag taught me how to avoid people way better. I was a running back so it especially helped. My son is playing baseball so I don’t have to worry about this anyway. He wants to play football but only flag for him.

Why, did the comments under that video on YouTube mention the coach part?

All three of my sons played youth football. All stopped before high school. If they wanted to play I would have let them. Glad my sons aint no bitch ass niggas.

3 sons, one played youth football, the other two did not. Big mistake. I should have had all 3 play youth at least one year, maybe 2. If they play HS football, the experience they gained from youth will protect them, there is a lot to get used to with helmets and pads. Further, they have "safe-sided" the youth game so much that while there is risk, it is acceptable IMO. I don't think that you can extrapolate the risks inherent with the NFL level to any other level. The NFL is a whole other level of physics and violence.

Gotcha!

I don't know Bomani's experience so he's talking about people he knows and what he's seen.

In many situations he might be right but most that I know just loved to play sports growing up.

I didnt start playing football until I was in HS. I let my son decide, we got him camps a little early, but it wasn't tackle or anything. I let him choose his own path. Even if he did play, I wouldn't want to be out there coaching
