Nothing like starting them on the concussion trail early..

For frick's sake - they weigh like 75 lbs. and wear excellent gear. That, combined with the heads-up football initiative (in my day we were told to make head-to-head contact) I've only seen a few instances of any concern. In each of those cases the kids were evaluated immediately by trained medical volunteers and cleared with no indication of concussion.

Jeez our country is turning into a bunch of pussies.

By the way, I also let my kids ride their bikes without helmets sometimes. They play outside with no adult supervision. I even let the little guy whittle with a sharp pocket knife and shoot guns (with supervision). Someone call Family Services!
