Terry Bradshaw would not permit a son of his to play football because of concussions.

...Terry had to speak somewhat tactically about this since his job with Fox is as a football annalist, he does not want to lose his job.

...”There will be a time in the next decade where we will not see football as it is," Bradshaw told Leno, per SN sister publication SportsBusiness Daily. Bradshaw battled concussions throughout his career. Now, he told Leno, he can't see football and other sports where head injuries are prevalent having much staying power.

Bradshaw echoed fellow retired quarterback Kurt Warner's comments about the game being too dangerous for young men who wish to get into it now.

“If I had a son today ... I would not let him play football,” Bradshaw said.

...There is a video where Terry Bradshaw talks to Jay Leno and the rest of this story.

...As someone who has had several concussions, I can understand it.

...Earlier this year, a retired pro football player, and a member of the hall of fame, committed suicide because of his concussions.

I remember a star football player who was injured in High School. So severely that he was bedridden until he died. Think about all his years in bed. People forgot this football hero. Very few ever went to see him.
