Not a dick question at all, quite a fair one to be honest. Likely we'll let them play soccer, baseball, basketball, sports with a relatively low risk of head injuries. IMO, getting kids involved with team sports teaches them invaluable lessons about teamwork, winning, losing, etc., but at the same time we don't want to be parents that are too over protective of our children.
Hockey is a tough sport to justify on the basis of head injuries alone, without factoring whether we would be able to afford it. I suppose a lot will depend on the child too as some are better suited for certain sports.
