A football (American) moment

My son plays flag football in the town recreational league. He likes hanging out with other boys. My daughter wanted to play but 30 seconds into her experiment, she was knocked down by a bigger, possibly 5th grade boy. And she was done with this sport.

I've always thought that my son would learn most of his "male"-oriented skills from women so I am glad he loves football and is learning it from ment. He runs in sweat pants too big and is not sure where he is supposed to be but I don't care. I'd like him to be able to play pickup football with his friends as well as follow football on TV (if he wants to follow it). He doesn't seem to mind the loud-mouthed coach yelling or the "drop and give me ten" commands. My son is slight and slim I don't want him playing American football much beyond where he now does but I want him to be familiar with this American sport.

Ok, not scintilllating but this is my observation today.
