Sure, your child, but what about someone else's?

Way more people use cell phones than watch the NFL and more people die or suffer life altering injury supporting that industry than they do playing football in the NFL.

I think the fear is that you're wrong, and that a substantial fraction of those who play in the NFL suffer life altering brain injuries, it's just slow and mostly affects players well after retirement so it's not as obvious.

I'm not disputing the health risks to players. Not sure where you got the impression that I was. I just don't think the health consequences to the players will significantly harm the viability of the NFL as a product.
