Football will not last - it's doomed

Someone that can vote, be tried as an adult and can fight for our country isn't a child. Anyone that's says someone 18 or older is a child is a moron

Are you sure you're not just whistling Dixie ?

Guess what else

I don't mind brown gravy for breakfast

Less carbs. Tastes just fine.

Now what?

I agree with this. Brown gravy over biscuits is vastly better than white.

Get woke

I agree on the number thing, but that won't end football. The gradual pussification of the sport will.

While I think I understand and appreciate your premise, your presentation of it is not good. As such I simply did not vote on this thread.

I'm drunk. What do you want?

So wait ... lemme get this right.

So you believe that a set age, an age set by society that varies from society to society, an age set according-to successful completion of a society's primary education minimum, an age set strictly for political purposes but also an age that restricts something as simple as the right of passage into the drinking age .... you honestly believe that an age, of 18 in the United States, that age harkens a boy or teenager automatically into manhood and adulthood ... that's what you believe, amirite? And that anyone that knows otherwise .... we're all morons?

You're so wrong on so many levels HJ ... so many levels.

First of all "kids" is not a pejorative. It's typically used as a term of affection, both in this country and most of eastern, western and northern Europe ... although sometimes used to suggest a happy-go-lucky carefree lifestyle free from worry and sometimes lacking the normal responsibilities of everyday life.

Additionally, reaching the age of 18 DOES not automatically make one a man or guarantee adulthood. As a matter of fact it wasn't until fairly recent history, prior to the democrats making a move to frick everything-up ... that 21 was considered the minimum age of legal adulthood usually having either completed a tour in our military or graduated from an institution of higher learning. The age was lowered to 18 strictly for the liberal progressives to garner more votes ... nothing else.

At the same time the drinking age, even for those kids serving in the military and voting ... was raised to 21.

Now I could go on and on about the differences between sexual maturity and mental maturity and how it not only varies between genders but also from person to person ... and I could defend the OP's use of the word "kid" as particularly correct in this case and your use of the word "moron" as particularly ironic, if not hypocritical, in this case ... but, in your defense I have learned that most D1 P5 football prospects these days are typically more mature both physically and mentally, are willing to accept more responsibility and pressure ... for the most part. Had you made that arguement about the kids then perhaps ... I dunno. I still call my kids in their 30s my "kids."

Oh, and I know of people well into their 20s and even 30s who act as children do .... most of us can claim the same.

There is a difference between using "kid" affectionately or even to address someone much younger in a statement .... vs using the word "child."

You convoluted the two Henry. It speaks volumes of a defensive nature you seem to have with regard to the subject of age and maturity. Hmmmmmmmm ... wonder why.

Just how old are you Henry? 19, 20?
