Playing football -- worth it?

I have to wonder if that manly sport of football is worth it, especially after reading articles like this one from Sports Illustrated.

Former Oakland Raider Dave Pear is one of many former players suffering from injuries sustained during their careers.

"Don't let your kids play football," he says. "Never."

Think about that next time you're watching a game, celebrating the "toughness" of your favorite player. Or do we really care?

As long as it isn't my kid.
