50% of Parents Say No Football for Sons

After months of reports about concussions, spousal abuse, and controversy over the Redskins’ name, 50 percent of Americans say they don’t want their son to play football, a new Bloomberg Politics poll reports. A total of 44 percent said they would want their son to play, while 7 percent said they were not sure. Democrats were also more likely to oppose participation in the sport, as were women versus men. In addition, 62 percent of those making $100,000 or more and 62 percent of those who were college-educated would oppose their children playing.
