My Son decided to stop playing football!

My son is 14 5'5" and about 120#'s. He plays QB and can sling it. Throws an incredible tight ball and is very accurate. 2nd fastest on his 8th grade team.
He decided to quit football and play golf and guitar. He quit before the season started so the coaches could adjust.
Because he did this, I have been able to play golf with him twice a week and we will be able to hunt every Saturday together. I'm proud of my son because he's my son.
I encourage you as Fathers to not try to live out your dream through your children. Let them make choices, guide them, and bless their decisions. It will truly relieve the unneeded stress in your relationship. Don't miss an opportunity.

Smart move.

Congratulate him on the no brain damage for me.

Your son is wise beyond his years, but hopefully he learns not to be as self-righteous as his pops.

Sounds like a reefer addict to me

Coach probably tried to make him sign a pledge to not drink and smoke reefer.

Good for him sports are a waste of time for 98% of the kids.

If he's going to play he'll do it on his terms.
Posted on 9/17/16 at 10:39 am to Hoovertigah
Good for him.

I expect both my sons to play pro sports if they want a proud daddy.

It's good that you're encouraging your son to do what he wants.
But this is one of the reasons I know I shouldn't have kids/don't want them. That would piss me off.

Playing golf well will help him greatly long term.

He'll have plenty of time to think it over while driving to get Aerosmith tickets.

Same here, I have Steve Tannehill (former Gamecock great) on salary. He works with my 16 year old 3rd string JV squad QB. on a bi-weekly basis. I can already see that my money is well spent by the progress that my son Eugene is making.

He'd have put up big numbers with O'Bannon keeping his pocket clean

Not sure where that came from.... He loves time with me and I love time with my son.

I had sons who all took different paths. We talked, they made the decision at about 16. Coaches were not happy but it was the right decision. You should be commended

I doubt O'Bannon will be ruled eligible. He's like 25.
