As the world wonders about the possible link between football and long-term brain health, does that impact how you feel about kids playing the game?
There already has been plenty of discussion linking Junior Seau's suicide and the cumulative effects of violent collisions he sustained during his illustrious NFL career. The former San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots linebacker died of a self-inflicted gunshot to the chest earlier this week.

"Charter schools are, in my opinion, a key ingredient in the future educational success for the state of Georgia. We know that when you promote competition, …
