Kreist. It’s the politicians there that are brain damaged, not the kids playing football.

Maybe the politicians played football, too. Ever think of that?

Playing with each other’s tight ends doesn’t count as football.

7th grade I was 14. First organized tackle ball

My dad hated youth sports. We played on the streets and fields where we fought for our meals

Teenage wasteland

I don't think this bill matters

Good, children under 12 aren't ready for such a life altering decisions, its just putting a simple pause on their athletic development and once they are 12 and old enough they can make their own choice rather than just arbitrarily getting assigned the sport by their parent.

Did you catch passes without having to look over your shoulder?

I'm just trying to keep this apolitical, but what if on we could choose other places to live in the United States where we agree with the policies of our state so we dont have to complain anymore!!!! Is that an option???

Glad we don't recruit California anymore. You don't see this shit in Texas.

For real though, football is quickly becoming a sport for the poors. Unless they're destined to be a QB or kicker, you're signing your kid up for early onset CTE with the end goal of surviving for a few years in the NFL and getting a paycheck that's only guaranteed week to week.

Why do that when the Saudis and LA Dodgers are throwing around 9 figure guaranteed deals?

Exactly this.

When I said apolitical, this was the direction I was hoping the thread would go.

The richest schools have a lot higher turnout where I live. That's not what's happening. The west coast and California in particular is just full of pussies. Don't over complicate it.

@GreenRiverGatorz what is the data on CTE for kids that only played through HS or College? Honest and not loaded question. I'm not well versed in this subject.

Seems like if HS Football alone cause CTE, there would be a lot more CTE out there. And nowadays, I would think the equipment and protocols are much better.

Who knows how much is out there since diagnosis is post-mortem. This study shows a stark increase in risk with players in the NFL versus college and high school. There's a lot of high level math and statistics jargon in there, so someone smarter than me will have to conclude whether or not this study touches on prevalence of high school players vs gen pop.

They let kids drug up on gender shit.... But cannot play football. California.... Checks out. They are feminizing men at a rapid rate.
