NFL Football Super Star Bo Jackson Quote...#PLAY SOCCER

Bo knew back in his playing days what he knows now:Bo never would have won a Heisman Trophy at Auburn. Bo never would have been inducted into the college football Hall of Fame. Bo never would have worn a Los Angeles Raiders uniform. Bo never would have trampled Brian Bosworth on Monday Night Football. And Bo never would have dislocated his left hip that ended his football career.“If I knew now what I had known back then,’’ Jackson tells USA TODAY Sports, “I would have never played football. Never. I wish I had known about all of those head injuries, but no one knew that. And the people that did know that, they wouldn’t tell anybody.“The game has gotten so violent, so rough. We’re so much more educated on this CTE stuff (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), there’s no way I would ever allow my kids to play football today.“Even though I love the sport, I’d smack them in the mouth if they said they wanted to play football.“I’d tell them, “Play baseball, basketball, soccer, golf, just anything but football.’ ’’
