Aren’t there risks of brain damage with any sport? Why target football specifically?

Look at the evidence- there’s a lot of other things kids can do and not damage their brains. Many other sports are out there and half as dangerous. Of course there are always accidents. You can fall off of a chair and get a concussion. But if you’re knowingly and intentionally putting your child in a sport where every play of every game they’re getting their brain rattled, you’re setting your child up for a lifetime of hurt and damage.
