Would you let your child football? When you think about the risks that go along with the sport, like possible concussions, long-term injuries, so on and so forth, the answer isn't so easy. While talking with the New Republic about that same issue, President Barack Obama weighed in:

Interesting. We're pretty sure he isn't alone in this sentiment and while on the topic of football, Obama also stressed his concern over the safety of players in the NCAA, compared to those playing in the NFL.

If anything, why not try competing in Barack's favorite sport, basketball? And honestly, who doesn't love basketball?
