SPRINGFIELD, MO-Claiming the awful predicament was every mother and father's worst nightmare, reports confirmed Tuesday that more parents now say that allowing their children to play football is not worth the risk of having them drafted by the New York Jets. Sure, there are positives to having your child play football, but if my son were to somehow be signed to the Jets, I don't think I could ever forgive myself," said local parent Lindsay Cristholm, explaining that it would only take one bad NFL draft day to completely ruin her child's life forever. The thought of my sweet boy out there in a Jets jersey is too much to bear. No loving parent wants their child to end up as a Jets wide receiver or quarterback. It's a crippling pain they would endure for the rest of their lives." At press time, the NFL had reportedly attempted to assuage parents' concerns by updating helmets to remove the Jets decal.
