WTF are you talking about? My "agenda" is to discourage kids from getting irreparable brain damage. Brett Favre has called football a "violent sport" and suggested that he would not allow his sons to play. Is that also some sinister "agenda"?https://twitter.com/WhitlockJason/status/1165735287642738688 …

Definitely not the crazed ranting of someone 15+ years after being stuffed into lockers by the punter on the JV football squad

Sadly, soccer has also been linked to CTE. Repeatedly using one's head as a battering ram, even against a soccer ball, appears to entail long-term danger. Should soccer players wear helmets?https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/14/health/brain-damage-dementia-cte-soccer-football-study/index.html …

Many youth soccer leagues ban heading the ball. Much harder to ban tackling in...tackle football.

FWIW, I know several high school football players who are convinced they have or will have brain damage (I am less certain). They're going on to community college ball.

I run a concussion clinic. I see a lot of teens with concussions and significant postconcussion syndrome. It causes much distress in their lives.

I played D1 and have back pain between a 6 and 9 out of ten EVERY DAY. I have 2 daughters, neither they nor any future son of mine will EVER play football if possible.

Tbh, it would prove very difficult to phase out high school football. Top college football programs (Clemson/Auburn, etc), recruit these kids. Right or wrong, there’s a lot of money in college football, especially for the universities.

This makes me want to phase it out even more tbh

Should we ban hockey too? You act like the majority of people who’ve played football have brain damage. They are trying to make the game safer by banning headshots and taking precautions on possible concusions. Helmets are also better.

People are born with certain genetic predispositions. Some men gravitate towards violent activities because that is what they find fulfilling. Boxing, MMA, football, the military - that is just what they were born to enjoy. Of course the injury risk is higher - that is the point

There isn't a time in human history where there was no violent sports. Gladiators to boxing to UFC and MMA to fight clubs. It's a human evolutionary behavior to watch violence. Take away a regulated sport like football, it will be replaced by another violent back alley sports
