Message: [QUOTE="Engineer90, post: 3198979, member: 9712"] My mother was way ahead of her time on this. She was born and raised in Ansonia. My godfather's son played at AHS and in college, has been a long time coach there and was, for a time, the head coach. My older sisters went to AHS. We went to nearly all the games and were big fans. In 8th grade, my father was approached by the then head coach asking if I was going to play football for him the following year. He said no because my mother refused to allow it. Why? She worked in an ER in Bridgeport and saw the injuries come in. My son was probably perfect for football as a corner or a receiver. I refused to allow him to play. We are not alone. But, yeah, down south it is going to take much longer for people to come to their senses. It won't happen in our lifetime but it will happen. [/QUOTE]
