Stickman: I never wanted my sons to play football just because of that issue. They played many other sports and excelled, and they have also not had any regrets about my one decision in their sports lives. They were and still are outstanding athletes, but as young boys I took them to many games and showed them all of the kids that were sitting on the sidelines with injuries, many to the head and the knees of course. They got it and still do.

Question: Were you ever suffer an incapacitating injury while playing sports?
