You're lucky you weren't good at football or you could be looking at a terrible future.

You all would stop your older son from participating in something he loves or strives for?

You said "something he loves or strives for." You opened yourself up to crazy suggestions.

Well maybe you should answer the question. You wouldn't stop your son from pursuing his dream if his dream was to deal drugs?

The butt hurt is strong in this thread.

Obama has more power over the wingnuts than they want to admit.

I believe the term "fear mongoring" was thrown out around page 5 or so.

have you seen the video circulating with that Russia kid doing crazy stuff, hanging and doing pull ups hundreds of feet in the air?

Your 13 year old says that's his passion and what he wants to do and be good at.

You let him? don't pretend that this analogy is ridiculous.

If they preferred that you didn't play for safety reasons, but caved merely because you said you, "loved the game" and "really wanted to" then yes, they did you a disservice.

Because you were the one who asked if people would say no to their child following his or her dreams.

Free hanging off of a tower a thousand feet in the air is a terrible example
