President Obama, a self-proclaimed football fan, admits in a soon-to-be released article in the New Republic that it would be a tough decision to let a son play football. 

The president said he believes football will probably become a less violent game in the future out of concern for player safety.

There have been a number of complaints about the safety of football players and concussions.

Last week, the family of Junior Seau sued the NFL, claiming his suicide was the result of brain disease tied to violent football hits.

Is football too violent? What changes would you make to the sport to improve safety?
