Your kids are concussed, like Yeti (or by Yeti)

[SKO]

I would probably be inclined to allow my son to play, but only after he became fully aware of the possible consequences.  If he still decides to do so after that, more power to him.

SGil might beg to differ, however.

This is where I'd really like to come down on it.  But at what age are they really bright enough to properly digest risk analysis, medical information, etc.  14?  Probably.  7?  Probably not.  The 7 year-old needs me to make these kinds of decisions for him.

I have some strong pussy tendencies on this subject, and so I voted "fuck no" for lack of a better option.  But having a toddler and knowing this will probably come up down the road, assuming he doesn't run off to Fork's ballet academy...I wrestle with this one big time.   

I can certainly respect all sides of this debate.

The way I see it, the 7 year olds that aren't my tough as nails son aren't going to hit hard enough to cause injury thanks to their effete liberal parents and the overall decay of the masculine side of western civilization. So as long as you raise the kid to hit and not be hit he'll be okay.

If I'm good at anything, it's creating bad conversations.

You sure know how to rescue a thread.

Jeez Yeti, way to be so black-and-white about it, no-breath.

If I could change them, (or knew how) I immediately would. I should have maybe contracted someone else to start the topic. Someone not unfunny

How about we just make a rule that you never post anything about anyone's kids?

Line Item'd. I say this motion passes.

It's not like I accused Huey's future son of being the Ryan Mallett of the Consolidated Football Federation's Challenger team

I'd let him play, but I'd like to see some advancement in helmet technology.  Hard to believe that there isn't some cushy gel stuff that would work better than the padding there now.

I would imagine that viscosity and incompressibility would be downsides of gels, unless the helmet is increased enough in size so as to explode and shoot gel everywhere by way of converting energy to work.

It depends on the result of the cloture motion.

What about mechanically separated poultry?

Even worse. It probably has a high water content.
