No rule you could possibly implement in the name of safety was going to prevent that.

I feel like this is shunning the ability to take risks, soccer has been proven to be more dangerous when it comes to head trauma as is cheerleading. Both are activities that are considered "less dangerous" yet you can kill yourself from headbutting another person while performing a header as well as performing a pyramid in cheer. Even in a world where we football coaches are taking the head out of the game the risk is still there not because coaches are telling our kids to slam craniums but because S#!T happens. I feel for these kids and their families as it is a young man dying well before his time but to have a crusade against football is a little much.
BTW Soccer should be a spring sport...

For the longest time it was. I don't think for a second it is a coincidence that just gets moved to the fall. Conspiracy! ?

Wow.....that is a rather sensationalistic article. It paints a picture that an entire city (board) shut down football when in fact it was just 1 high school with a 9-12 enrollment of 300. It then references a handful of other SMALL schools that disband the football season due to low numbers. For the cherry on top, it infers all this correlates to Aaron Murray's tragic death last week. That was a pointless article but obviously garnered the desired clicks by selling a load of {censored}. I'm more mad at the pathetic attempt at journalism (read ad revenue) than any attack on the sport

And in case it escape the individual, that football.

And in case it escape the individual, that football. I have to ask for the second time...is English your native language, and if so, are your posts tough to comprehend because you make mistakes typing on some type of mobile device? My point is simply that if a faction of people are discussing the dangers of a sport, and eliminating it because of those dangers, saying "no rules could prevent that from happening" only reinforces their position.

Tapa talk? It's on the screen. Bending over to silence critics only emboldens moves like that, especially when it is done in reaction to tragedy.

The irony of your statement is that If it hadn't been for those in charge 'bending over' in reaction to tragedy to silence critics then football wouldn't exist. How do you think the neutral zone, forward pass and banning of the flying wedge (among others) came to be?

I was asking if that is the reason your posts are so difficult to read, and often appear to be missing multiple words. Thats all. Nobody is saying anything about bending over (whatever that means). My point was just that your comment about rules only STRENGTHENS their argument. Essentially what YOU are saying is "Hey, look. about 5 kids die a year playing football. Might be your kid. Nothing we can do about it. "

What a bad representation of the amazing state I love. But leave it to inner-city St. Louis to once again shine the spotlight on Missouri for the worst reasons.

Read the comments on this article. They are crazy. If we do away with football, we need to do away with all sports. I have seen some very terrible injuries in soccer, basketball, and baseball.
I have predicted that football, as we know it, will be no more in 10 or less years.

If it dies at the youth level, it all goes away. Total willingness to surrender is just amazing.

The nfl and ncaa hs cant afford for youth ball to go away. Ultimately that is what this is about... $$$$....not safety or any shenanigans like that.

again... our sport is safe. you have a culture of whiny moms who are making a ton of noise, and liberal sissy men backing them up. the truth is a long screaming whining diatribe is going to make more noise than a bunch of red blooded american men saying "shut up". trust me fellas... when push comes to shove, this sport will be safe.

Good luck with that. Meanwhile, numbers will continue to decline to the point that 3 and 4 schools are going to have to coop or combine in order to field a team of 20 kids. This, "football will survive because it's football", mindset is stupid. If you haven't noticed "red blooded american men" are vanishing in themself.

This, "football will survive because it's football", mindset is stupid. If you haven't noticed "red blooded american men" are vanishing in themself. first of all, you're talking about two different arguments altogether. the problem of participation is not a product of parents not letting their kids play because of safety... it's a product of the "friend generation" of parents allowing their kids to be lazy bums and allowing them to quit or never play in the first place and stay home with their x boxes. A small, miniscule percentage of kids that aren't playing are doing so because of injury concerns. Secondly, your assertion that red blooded american men are vanishing is straight up dumb. I can assure you that we are alive and well in the great state of Texas. Football in this great state is and will remain just fine.
