FoxTrot by Bill Amend for September 03, 2017

I guess Peter doesn’t want to be roughed up by the real players.

Why is he even playing? Brain damage is not worth being in any game.

Meanwhile, aggressive kids the size of trucks who don’t much care about any damage inflicted upon their beans will be turning him into paste as usual.

It does not always take a concussion to cause brain damage. A accumulation of hits and falls to the whole body and head result in increased brain damage. The brain inside the skull just bounces around. There is no protection for that.

He loves his brain so much he wants to keep it in mint condition and not use it.

Peter, why don’t you go into something more academic, like science or literature? If you like football so much, I’m sure Jason can get you a copy of Madden.

Given his brain, a little rearrangement might help.

It’s just not FoxTrot without “H” High School

i USED to enjoy watching the game myself. but after that Frontline/Nova/ESPN report on the NFL and concussions/CTE, the game started souring for me. and once i read that the most expensive chunk of public school/education funding (sometimes approaching half) go to the football program, i just despised the game itself.

End of the bench. Guard of the bucket and Tackle anyone who gets near it.

Mr. Gumby trying to keep from hurting his brain.

Considering the control freak Peter was in previous strips, he would get a concussion from a thirsty player that he won’t give water to.

Oh BOY! Does Peter suck at sports! :/
