Dominique Easley wants his kids to have no part of football

Dominique Easley wants his kids to have no part of football

New Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Dominique Easley may play football for a living, but he apparently has little interest in getting his kids involved in the game.

The defensive tackle from Staten Island, N.Y., who played college football at the Florida, sat down with The Breakfast Club to talk about the Rams, football in general and much more.

When asked what he thought about the safety of football, Easley told The Breakfast Club the following:

“I’m not putting my kids in football. It’s a different game nowadays, like when we were growing up it was fun. Nowadays it’s just too much of a business. I feel like you stop having fun when you get out of some colleges, but mostly high school. Nowadays they are changing the game and there’s too many rules. My kids are going straight to baseball. If it’s something they want to do, I can’t stop them. I am just going to try to keep the footballs out of the house.”

The interview continued on, and Easley was asked about his football camp and if its contradictory to be against his kids playing football. Easley had this to say:

“That’s my kids though, I’m trying to encourage other kids who like to play football already. My kids don’t know what they want to do yet. I am going to keep it real (at the camp) I am not going to tell them lies.”

It’s an interesting take to hear from Easley, but we’ve obviously heard differing opinions from NFL players when it comes to their kids potentially playing down the road.
