NFL players die on average 20 years younger than other men


Not that your kid will be a NFL player, but starting in high school what high level football brings includes obesity (in 1940, all-state linemen weighed 100 lb less), brain damage (which is degenerative), drugs (starting with high school players at all levels), over-specialization, early retirement to a sedentary life (NFL players retire around 28) knowing nothing but football. Includes link to George Carlin’s great sketch contrasting football and baseball.
