Dads Unplugged

Football, Sports & Concussions. Is it all too much?

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 23:35:53 +0000

Kent and Todd tackled a tough topic today, as many people are asking if kids should play football because of the recent increase in concussions among younger children. The two were on opposite sides of this debate. Plus they delved into other dangerous sports: Motorcycling (which recently claimed the life of a 13 year old) and Soccer (which has a high rate of unreported concussions). How important are sports to kids? What does playing a sport do for them?

Kids, Sports, Dads and Bowling

Kent and Todd didn’t focus on the bowling, that was bad and got worse as the night progressed at Players. The show on pagatim.fm allowed Dads to talk about their kids and sports, plus what type of role did sports play in their lives when they were young and as they are in the workforce now. Lots of myths were debunked and stories told.

I guess you missed it and did you miss out. Keep your eye out for the LONG version of the time we spent down at Players because I had to edit out a good 15 minutes of great conversation to fit in our 30 minute window. Things that will be in that longer version, Darci (we still don’t believe she actually has given birth to 5 kids), Kent railing on the University of Washington and how they treated his dad, plus more comments about how one Dad should handle a very troubling athletic situation with his son. We never know what is going to happen at these Dads Unplugged get togethers, but we do know that we will have a great time. Hope you can join us for the next one. Keep your eyes open on the web site, or if you want to be added to our mailing list, send us a note at Comments@pagatim.fm
