Good morning C
While I see a lot of people getting on the dad's case, I'm actually more upset at the idea that someone on the other team is just playing hockey, maybe knocks into this kid and accidently kills him, not knowing about his condition. Imagine the trauma of killing another human being when all you were doing was playing some hockey. If this kid wants to risk his life, fine, but don't put that emotional damage on someone else.

Not true; the thing we forget is that love is an emotion. Often times, when parents have regrets, they want to make sure their kids don't suffer the same way. They want better for their kids, happier. So they try to make their kids succeed where they failed, emotionally believing that they are helping their kids. It's love gone wrong. It's why you shouldn't always follow your heart... doesn't mean you don't value it... but you don't give it the driver seat...

The mom really should of put her foot down and stood up to her husband. This is their sons life at stake; that's her boy. She spent 9 months carrying him in her womb with love, went through hours of labor to bring him into the world. They spent 17 years raising him to be the best he can be. If that's my child whose developing a health condition that could put him at risk, and the father seems more concerned about the ramifications of quitting sports. Then I'd be fighting like a lioness to protect my son from any further damage even from his own father.

If something happens to that kid, you know the dad is going to sue the hospital saying that they neglected treating his son.
Since i was a wrestler, i know how this feels. Its uncanny how comfortable people are with how far they can push there children.
What we have here is horrific dad who trying very hard to relive his past glories playing hockey through his son. In other words he is living vicariously through his son. Projecting what he loves and hates onto his son. His mother is no better by just smiling and doing whatever her husband wants. Not even putting her foot down and protecting her son. You would think that as his mother she would advocate for her son's health. Both parents are horrible people who don't care what happens to their son. As long as the son does what they want.

Eventually this kid wound up with a compound fracture, stemming from a non-hockey event. I did not see it, but I did see him get put in the ambulance and I swear that while his was in obvious pain, he also looked relieved too.

Many times where this sort of thing happens, it ends up not being the life the child wants, but what the parents wanted to still have, and thus will risk their child's happiness, wealth, and even health, to keep that feeling alive.

I laugh everytime he flattens Dr.Reese 😂
He could always try to be a Hockey Coach/Manager. You get to form all the stratagies and plays but don't take any hits.
That's the oldest teenager I've ever seen.
I don’t know what’s worse the father reliving his life through his son or the son being determined to play despite the warning
There should be a law against stupid, greedy fathers!
that is a full grown man
The boy looks the same age his supposed father XD

It's insane they would cast a 30 year old, he doesn't even remotely look like a teenager.
It was because of parentS plural just like this we had to disband our local youth hockey league for over ten years. The final straw that caused it well kid survived and is now a mechanic great one too. But the fact he needs knee braces and a cane at sixteen says a lot. It's back but heavily watched. Like players get cps checks monthly watched.
I guess all else fails, live vicariously through your kids.
This is something that happens quite often. The child catches the bug for a sport or career and it becomes part of them, then both parent and child have to either change or not change. I was literally saved by my wife , who fought be with every fiber of her being to get me put of bodybuilding and martial arts , I had a bad liver, a sickness passed through father to son, from Scandinavian genes. It was killing me , yet I pushed knowing full well what was happening, I wanted to fulfill my father's dream and I was doing it, but she stopped me and I'm here today because of it, I can now be a father to my own children and be there for her. I found another way, those who can't compete train others to do so lol. I did change one thing, making sure my kids have their own dreams , not one bodybuilder or martial art among my 7 children, which at first was rough, because I wanted to train them, but they didn't want it, so I didn't push them. That is the first lesson many fathers and mothers must learn, ypur kids are their own people, not just little carbon copies of you, don't be narcissistic, let them follow their own dreams and back them up!

Bad father, bad husband, bad person
Sad there are parents just like this father out there
Fun fact I just looked up: the actor who played the dad, Lochlyn Munro, actually started acting after a serious injury which caused him to quit professional hockey!! Guess they took inspiration from his story!
Your life is more important than a scholarship
Brilliant show, Awesome cast grt8 story lines.
The way he tried to control his tears , its so relatable
My favorite part is when he fell on Dr. Reese😂
The most unbelievable thing about this is that dude is supposed to be 17 years old.

I thought I was hallucinating when they said his name was Brett Cooper
Dad did 17 seasons and didnt have the reflexes to catch his son that took a whole 4 seconds to wobble and fall, nope thats it too fake thats the line and its been crossed not good enough....😤
It’s a situation where some are willing to die for what they love. Though I concur this father is shoving it down his throat. Then again, in the 21st century most teams will not take him due to the need to have a physical. Team doctor finds this, and it’s too much liability- he doesn’t play
Damn, that's an old looking 17 yr old 😮

No parent-plus debt to incur. I don't agree with what the dad is doing, I was just trying to dip into my brain and see if I could come up with an answer to his reasoning.😅
Watching from Baguio City Philippines sending my full support
Sometimes wants can change and so do people.
Was elite military took hits and falls, couple weeks ago when picking up my kids the step structure is really weird some short some high, miss stepped and felled, blacked out for a couple seconds in my mind but they said I was out for atleast 1-5 mins, multiple bruises and bleeding, fractured my skull, I was the last person into emergency triage and first person seen by a doc went through X-ray, mri and cat scan, I was classified as top priority because of my bleeding, scare the heck out of my wife and parents because the bleeding wouldn’t stop, thinking about it now I’ve had it worst during military
I get as a parent we all just want the best for our children and their future but, that’s not a justification to neglect their health or prioritize a potential scholarship for their future education. And just because the father never experienced what’s happening to his son when he played for 18 seasons doesn’t necessarily guarantee that he wouldn’t have these issues. Everyone is different when it comes to their health and the injuries they receive could prove indefinite or life threatening…there’s no way you can ignore or rule out such possibilities based on your own personal experiences…….such a one sided view point and speculation could lead to a fatal outcome.
The way he screamed dad was so gut wrenching
The dad has that selfish care for his son. He cares about his future, but only if it caries on what his father wanted to be.
The fact the guy playing Jack has the last name Cooper in this and in Riverdale had me on the floor.
The question "If he had it his whole life, why is it a problem now?" Like how the body needs time to develop so can diseases and an accident/infection, etc. can be the trigger at some point. I´d say one reason why such news can shock anyone is because it´s out of your control.

Not to mention that most of the symptoms he said he “gets all the time” so a lot of the symptoms could have been there for most of his life, he just passed them off as no big deal until the dam burst here.
I appreciate that the Dr. didn't say "I'm not trying to scare you" because he totally was
I would never do this if i was a father. Id do everything in my power to make sure my child survived. One saying i will always take with me to the grave is no parent should bury their own child. I still stick by this eventhough im not a parent right now
i think it’s funny how the dad’s last name is cooper and in riverdale his name was hal cooper lol
