Why would anyone let their kid play football based on what we know about concussions. The same is true for head ball in soccer. I also suspect that girls have more opportunities in the arts than boys. Give me that any day for my kid. Its the girls who seem to be getting the most out of schools based on college attendance rates. More boys are at risk of dropping out and violence on the street.

Hopefully the trend can be reversed. (Note: could you credit the photo to "Tom Hagerty for LakelandLocal.com" ? Thanks!)
