I only have a daughter, but this is the way I'll approach it with her and sports and if I have a son, the same.
Honestly, I'd worry more about wrestling than football if I end up with a son. Not only is there concussions and some potentially serious soft tissue injuries, but cutting weight, especially at a young age is a bad deal. I'm pretty sure I'll draw some pretty serious lines in the sand about cutting weight if I have a son that wants to wrestle.
Same goes with my daughter and gymnastics if it comes to that. I'm all about eating healthy, I'm not all about skipping meals for kids.
