Actually, you can hurt yourself badly playing the violin too!. Injuries sustained while playing football will usually heal but some musician's injuries are fairly permanent!.

I have tendonitis in the left wrist from playing guitar and violin!. Once you get something like that it never goes away!. I was never injured while playing football when I was younger!.
Other violinists get frozen shoulder or thoracic nerve entrapment!.

If you enjoy the football then keep playing it!.

If the violin is the most important thing in your life then should consider yoga or the Alexendar Technique to prevent any injuries that may be caused by playing the violin!.
Prevention is better than a cure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, you should quit football, but not just because of violin !. !. !. if you get seriously injured, losing your violin skills will be the least of your worries!. Substitute a sport that does not involve charging into other people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Brian is right!. Injury happens everywhere!. Make sure you're preventing it in your violin playing or it can stunt your career! Ask your teacher to help you moniter yourself for that!.

However, that said, I personally don't play any sports anymore (I LOVE sports) because I don't want to hurt myself!. But I made my choice!. Cello and writing are my life!. I can't tell you whether or not to stop playing!. It really is up to you!.
