Most of the severe injuries among the guys I played with came from basketball.YellowSnow said:
My wife got a concussion AND blew out her ACL playing D I hoops. When she yells at me I blame the concussion.SFGbob said:
And tearing both you're ACL and MCL and your Meniscus will cost you a year of playing high school sports. Not to mention the expense of surgery and re-hab. Can you get hurt playing any sport? Yes, but football is the only sport where people will intentionally be diving at your legs while you're running the ball.GrundleStiltzkin said:
Wounds are stitched, sprains are splinted, double-vision clears eventually. Being a pussy last forever.
It wasn't worth it. Kid is now going to miss his Freshman year of baseball where he had a legitimate shot to make varsity and to play on the same team with his older brother for the first time.
You want to let your kids play football, have at it, but there is a greater risk of injury in the sport than there is in baseball and basketball. -
Tragically, I am supporting this blowhard on this point. Beisbol is a real and awesome sport my freng. Hardest thing to do in all of sport is hit a round object coming at you at 80+ mph, usually moving, with a round object. Success defined as anywhere near doing it 3 out of 10 tries. Great defenders are incredible to watch.backthepack said:
Flagged for your kids being Beisbol fags. Play a real sport along with football like basketball or lacrosse!SFGbob said:My middle son blew his knee out playing football this past fall. He is a much better baseball player than he is a football player, he is now going to miss nearly an entire year and his freshman year of school baseball.
I'm thinking long and hard about letting him play anymore football. He wants to but I'm still not sure. Went through the same thing with my oldest, he was a much better football player than my middle son but like his little brother a much better baseball player. He never was badly injured playing football but he hyper-extended his throwing arm playing football his junior year. Scared him enough that he decided to quit on his own and focus solely on baseball.
Smart move, he received a D1 scholarship in baseball.
Football is a brutal game it's not about if you're going to get hurt, you will, it's about if you're going to be injured. Losing an entire year due to injury is a very high price to pay.
And it's a very smart move to get your kids to play bb over football. If there's a choice, it's a no brainer. More $$, more girls, longer career, and nowhere near the later-in-life complications. -

Listen, I know we like to argue every last thing to the bloody nub in the Tug, but there really isn't a debate to be had when it comes to which sport fucks you up the worst.
Yeah, yeah, I know a guy who fell off his bike and still sings the 'chicken pot pie' song every 15 minutes, but that's the exception.
You play football and you are going to break and tear shit and have more concussions than you'll ever be able to count or keep track of. -
Pretty much. And she makes me have a jerb unlike Mrs. Bears Wiin.backthepack said:

Strong disagree. Baseball paved a nice life for me and mine. And I limped and one-armed my way through just over 2 years of playing at UW. Beisbol attracted an eclectic group of over-confident assholes and weirdos who like to throw down. A lot like the rowboat mafia aka @YellowSnow.backthepack said:Baseball is a fag sport, hth
Most kids that didnt give up early due to boredom during LL (it still is atrocious) give up the first time a wayward 80+ mph fastball whizzes by their grape... by end of middle school or so.
Also, squaring up a moving 95+mph round object with another round object...with less than 0.15 sec to decide whether to gap it or bail out to save your life... is still the hardest feat in "sports"....unless you count auto-racing, mountain-climbing and bull-riding, sports.
Come at me, bro. -
The Throbbers daughters are banned from dating baseball players. (IKW - fuck off)
In the pecking order golfers (rich families), basketball players (generally normal), football players (especially QBs sometimes linemen because they are intelligent), soccer fags, then baseball players.
Baseball players are usually assholes. The Throbber can deal with assholes but don’t need kids and grandkids boomeranging home after Johnny Outfielder decides to impregnate some 17 year old in a Wooderson glory days fuck).
