California Bill would ban tackle football before High School
This doesn't surprise me in the least.

If it harms SC recruiting in the future more than UW's I could be behind it...
Won't be long until it's the law of the land anyway, well except for SEC country. -
I'm pretty sure rugby doesn't have a problem of turning out mentally handicapped people? So why not just remove the pads and helmets that promote the illusion you can just run full speed at someone and collide. Totally avoiding the physicality of the sport by removing any tackling though is ignorant as fuck.

Rugby has less serious injuries than football but it's a constant grind. Football pads are counter productive, you essentially weaponize the body with plastic and metal that give false confidence to go as hard as possible.

No I say open up the passing game even moar. Allow for more motion at the snap. Basically line up and move however the fuck you want as long as you're not offsides at the snap.Doogles said:

Back in the day, Hawaii had barefoot football leagues, for middle school I think.

In NC, middle schools field football teams.

In South Africa they play barefoot rugby until they are 12.GrundleStiltzkin said:Back in the day, Hawaii had barefoot football leagues, for middle school I think.
I grew up playing without pads and naturally learned to tackle with my shoulder and not my head. It was a consistent problem in rugby that the guys who hadn't and had only played with pads would lead with their heads. I can still hear the sound in my mind of when my outside center(who had never played without a helmet) led with his head into a player from Oregon who also lead with his head. Still makes me cringe. -
But look how you both ended up. Your lack of ability resulted in you keeping your life.Gladstone said:Johnny Kirton (RIP) dragging me 9 yards downfield every play. Heatherwood Middle School vs Harbour Pointe Middle School 2000.

Shocked the city of Seattle hasn't banned tackle football. This is right up their alley.

Surprised those dykes are allowing NHL. Although I think their play is more fucking Chris Hanson, than bringing NHL here.
Then again, who ever accused a liberal of thinking things through before foaming at the mouth?! They can always play the race/sex/xeno card to cover their repeated failures.
Fuck Seattle -
Fuck off, bitch. Sorry liberal Seattle is winning super bowls & PAC 12 championships and then popping off.CaptainPJ said:

Go enjoy your amateur hockey or rec league bowling or whatever bullshit they have in your town. Swing by Applebee's for some that hot bar scene afterwards. -
Except Rick Fenney was younger than that.ApostleofGrief said:

I remember being shocked when out son entered middle school and I was excited about him playing football like dad except they didn't have football. Had to go to private league which didn't really interest him.
Big reason why Seattle is basketball town. Also when you go to Rainier Beach the home of 4 NBA players that means something -

I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself if this bill passes. Middle school football is a huge passion of mine. On top that, my favorite team has a bunch of talented elementary school kids on their recruiting radar for the next couple years.
