Mark Duper tests positive for CTE

Very guilty. We now know this isn't just about torn ligaments, broken bones, and having problems walking. The effects of playing this game are even more devastating than we thought. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw this game move to two hand touch at some point. Seriously. I love football but there's no way I'd play in the NFL if I had the opportunity given all the information I have at my disposal now. I've always felt that way but even more so recently. I wouldn't want my children playing football, either.

I don't feel guilty at all. Football is a choice, not a requirement.

My grandson is 10 years old and just started playing football. Me, my wife and his parents were very excited because for one he is not a brute, but a lanky skinny kid with good hands.
Last week in a game he had a head injury and was pulled from the game.
It turns out he is okay, but we are now at a crossroad. His mother (my daughter) wants him to quit and go back to playing basketball (he is a great BB player). I am not sure and nither is my wife sure about how to handle this.
We are at this point leaving this decision to him. But should he get hurt again, even I may step in and MAKE him quit. Head injury is what I mean.
