If he's straight, he's also gonna want to meet chicks. Certain types of hobby meets are best for that. ;- )

E=mc2 they little at 10.

Football's good for that too though.

wise dad applies the physics of scale to risk assessment of CTE

its not the speed of impact, but how often

I like wise dad's son's odds here.

brain doesn't do too well if you keep shaking it around really hard often

Soul doesn’t grow without it in my opinion

give that brain a little shake

just saying

As long as you're not passing the shake gradient

there are plenty of other sports that are little less brain killers (soccer, basketball, or baseball)

or if you want him to be a real man, fuck football, go to rugby

heheh

I Just don’t think you guys have kids. They are kinda little pussies. Slow and weak compared to what we were. No fight as school since my son has been, like in the entire school. Shits dif

At 10.. he is what I was at 7.

Yeah, I grew up recently in North America, can corroborate that I have never witnessed a fight on school grounds

But he’s smarter then I was at 14 lol

I did see some kids selling speed though.

i mean, even if you step into a fight and never throw a punch they will suspend you these days

in what I would describe as an upper middle class neighbourhood

not the kids who are pussies, its the parents

So much focus is on education from birth, you almost forget to let em be rough. It’s weird you will see

I witnessed a few but I'm closing in on the 10 year mark since HS

they cancelled goddamn dodge ball when i was in middle school

See

I heard about that shit

technically never allowed again but fuck if you are telling a high school gym teacher the kids can't try to murder each-other with small kick-balls

It's crazy these days. My father, for his many fatal flaws and crucial faults, did take me and my brothers hiking, camping, biking as often as possible.

my gym teacher called it, officially, "throw and catch" 😉

in school they were just phasing out swings

and gravel was starting to be replaced with shredded rubber, on the playgrounds

My dad took me swimming at Hanama Bay which was full of dangerous shit like stonefish and moray eels

hehehe

i joined the boy scouts so i would always have a group to camping/hiking/white water rafting

wonder if they still teach rifle and shotgun shooting

and archery

I believe so

well, I guess it depends somewhat on _where_

i know people joke about them now letting girls in, but i'm 100% blaming how lame the girl scouts is

Boy Scouts now have to accept girls though
