In the ongoing discussion of the dangers of playing football, former NFL linebacker LaVar Arrington has taken a stance of his own. In an appearance on ESPN's Outside the Lines Tuesday afternoon, Arrington said youth football is a valuable tool to teach kids to overcome physical challenges. Not allowing kids to play football would be "sissification," he said. "To me, it's sissification, and I think that's the only way to put it," Arrington said. "I will not go through my life scared and I don't want my children to go through life scared. I started playing football when I was 8 years old and I would never not want to give that opportunity to my children." Source: USA Today
I agree. It's absolute bullcrap. I understand making the game as safe as possible. I'm all for developing better helmets, mouthpieces, etc. But DO NOT change the heckin game. You knew the risks going in. You weren't playin heckin baseball or basketball where no contact happens. It's a collision game.
I know. These guys act like they are surprised its such a violent sport. Its not like the game changed all of a sudden. The game us the same, people have changed. We're all becoming pussies. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
as long as lavar is not a part of these freaking lawsuits, then i am behind him 100% .............. actually, has anyone been able to find a list of all of the players that are suing the league ............. surely there's someone keeping a list somewhere.
anyone else remember when lavar arrington was relevant? me neither hes got a point though, but damn i love [MENTION=2175]CaptainStubing[/MENTION] 's passionate loathing hatred for lawsuits lol
