Youth football coaches are not qualified to diagnose concussions I don't care what kind of heads up training they claim to have. My neighbor's son got a concussion during an 8th grade game and it went undiagnosed for a day after the game. The coach sent him back in despite the kid being rattled. I will not be encouraging my kids to play football. Plenty of sports out there that are tough and you're not slamming your head on every play.

Safer sports? Like what, soccer? Reality is you aren't safe no matter what you do. That being said, I sure as hell won't be encouraging my kid to be a lineman. At the end of the day my boys will choose what sports they want to participate in based on what they find the most fun.

While that is not uncommon, parents play a part in this as well. Why didn't the parents try to understand if the kid had a concussion or not and take him to the doctor?

Will you actively discourage it though?
