<p>I have three boys so there is “no way” that I could have channeled the boys away from sports. And heavens knows I’ve been trying to steer them (or herd them) for decades. I did try to influence them into less non contact and one of them bent to my will but the second played rugby and the third is all about football, all about lacrosse, all about defense and will never be a concert pianist. I’ve decided it’s genetics and not upbringing. So good luck and more power to you if you can “steer” your kids.</p>
