A Mother’s Perspective on the Dangers of Football
In a heartfelt video posted on Instagram, Randi Mahomes detailed her emotional struggle with watching Patrick play and dealing with the inherent dangers of football. As the new season approaches, she shared that she often chooses to avoid watching games closely to manage her anxieties about potential injuries.
“It is a fear that I have. I don’t normally like to speak about it, but at the same time, I keep thinking it’s gonna get easier to watch. And we had injuries. And so it’s something that I always tell them to like focus on your body, listen to your body,” Randi said.
She emphasized the importance of players paying attention to their health and advised them to heed the guidance of coaches and medical staff. Randi acknowledged the physical risks involved in football but said she has come to terms with the contact sport’s realities, though it still leaves her breathless when injuries occur.
“Listen to your coaches and the doctors. Also we all know that football is a contact sport, and it’s something that I’ve accepted. Every player’s team when it comes to injuries, anyone on any team gets even a little bit hurt. I lose my breath for a moment. And I’m praying for each and every one of them.”
