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

For the sake of God, Jesus and the fricking Holy Ghost, will y'all please stop raising these sissies.

Short of climbing electrical poles and juggling machetes - let your kids do fun shite that makes you uncomfortable.

Of course I'd let him be a kid


I did all three

Was too small for football but still gave it a run

Enjoyed boxing and it allowed me to learn the basics and able to protect myself to an extend

Dirt bikes were awesome until a shattered ankle



I turned out just fine

Did all three..and I'm alpha AF

I have 2 daughters. So no to all 3.

Have a 6 year old that plays football and races. I expect a few broken bones will come from one or both as well. They heal quick and God intended. Your only young once.

My kid is 9. He's played 3 seasons of football and enjoys it, but does it just for fun.
He's in his 3rd year of martial arts.
His absolute passion is motocross and loves racing. The kid eats, sleeps, and breathes motocross.
I grew up racing and reflect on that era as the best time of my life despite the injuries.
To this point he's experienced a broken arm and it hasn't slowed him down at all.

Of all the sports for a kid to play, there's no better sport for bonding with your child than motocross. You get to get out there and compete with them, learn along side of them, teach them riding and how to work on the bikes. The list goes on an on. There's no other sport like it.
