    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

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

    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.

    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???

    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.

    I played 5 years of organized tackle football by the time I was in the ninth grade. Great memories.

    Sweet Pea and Pee Wee in the Bothell leagues. Wallingford Boys Club in Seattle. Kenmore Junior High.

    Pretty sure I have CTE and it hasn't hurt me that much.

    Nobody lives forever and we have to die of something.

    The west coast is getting too soft.

    Where have all the TUFF loggers gone?

    Anyone who subscribes to this shit needs to be given concrete shoes in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It would be hilarious if it weren't so sad. Just off yourself and do us all a favor.

    Tug alert @DerekJohnson. Get this shit out of our face. It was clear from the first post. It went from a committee vote about youth football to California feminizing men. Are you fucking kidding me? Do we realize how stupid these people are or am I on an island of retard? Fuck me, man. I'm depressed enough as is during these days of grieving.
