Could I point out that avoiding head injuries might not be the only reason you wouldn’t want your children to play football? You might also not want your child to adopt the culture that a lot of high school football teams have (partying, not caring about school, self-centered), which can happen quite easily if they’re around football kids 3 hours/day 6 days/week.
Fair enough. Certainly schools have that, other schools have different cultures as well (but I’d guess the average is closer to your thought). Likely a different vibe from track/cross-country and marching band for sure. (Which isn’t too say you don’t have people that crossover/differences).
