Would you let your kid play football, box, or race dirt bikes ?

Or would you let them do some and not the others. I know these are the activities most parents debate on whether the kids should do regardless if they're interested or not.

Yes, probably not, probably not

Mind you, these aren't entirely based on safety. It's just not very normal for kids around here to box or race dirt bikes, so assuming that requires some effort on our part to facilitate, we'd probably push them in some other direction.

I assume amateur protester can't be added as an option?

If he wants to do it then I'm all for it. The hysteria over football nowadays is absurd. I saw something the other day on the news where some dr is saying that football for kids should be considered child abuse. This included high school football as well.

my son plays football

probably no on boxing

would test the waters on dirt bike racing. If my son seemed naturally good at it, I might would let him continue.

I did two of them, not at the same time, and not boxing. Dirt bike injury was the worst.

No football most likely. The rest is fine.

Why not football? Unless you're trolling you can't say you think football is more dangerous than say boxing. Where the goal is to literally knock the other person out
