Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre begs parents to wait to enroll their children in tackle football until age 14 in our newest PSA. The PSA aims to educate parents on research showing that their child’s odds of developing CTE double every additional three years they play tackle football.
“I cringe watching kids play tackle football,” says Favre, widely regarded as the toughest man to ever play the game, starting in a record 297 consecutive NFL games over 19 seasons. “Having kids play before high school is just not worth the risk. CTE is a terrible disease, and we need to do everything we can to prevent it for the next generation of football players.”
