I'll let mine play. To be honest, I caught in baseball from the time I was in 9-10 little league until I graduated high school and I have a lot more problems from that. Kids are fat and lazy already so I'm all for a sport like football. I played and in all honesty probably started too young but, it taught me a lot of discipline and the ability to work as a team.

I can't really indenify one thing, that cost me my knees, but catching sure didn't help.


Yeah and in all fairness, it wasn’t just catching that gave me my knee issues. I can say that it is probably most of it though. I know football had little to do with it compared to catching.


I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There�s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts. � Ronald Reagan
