Ok and that's the risk envolved, in which education and technology is making strides in lowering the risk.
I'm sorry allowing my kid to hang off a tower and/or playing football is not close to the same

Of course, certainly if it's based on legality

I probably wouldn't want my son to join the military due to risk, but if it's his passion and he feels it's worth the risk and his calling I would certainly support him
Would certainly discuss the risk, but every man has something they want to become and you can only bottle it up so much.

For those who say they won't let their son play football, are you gonna let them drive a car? Let them drink or smoke cigs as they get older? Let them go hunting and operate rifles, shotguns, handguns?
I'm sure you'll let them decide what they want to do, why should football be any different? Yes people get hurt, people get concussions, but those things happen all the time in many different areas of life

Shel311. You're trying really hard huh? Give it up really
If you're to stupid to see the difference between the point I'm trying to making and a stunt man I can't help you.

He could keep his kid from playing football until the kid was 18 and if he did that his kid would never play pro football.
True. But he said "I would not let my son play pro football."
Good luck with that.

The last one based on legality is the real confusing one.

Once they demonstrate the ability to do so safely and competently.
quote:
Let them drink
I'll try to set an example of how do so appropriately.

smoke cigs
Will do everything in my power to prevent them from doing so.
quote:

I don't do any of these things so they won't be directly exposed to it.
None of those things is comparable. You can not allow your kid to play football, which would severely impact their ability to do so once they reach legal age. Nothing you do can have that level of impact regarding driving, smoking, hunting when they reach legal age.

Okay dumbass
If it's illegal no will not support
If it's totally disregard to his life or others no
If it's a controlled sport in a controlled environment where the risk are understood and respected. Yes
If he is 18 and not living under my roof and he wants to hang off 1000 foot towers. No but I can't control that
