Message: [QUOTE="RandomGuy, post: 3034390, member: 6422"] I may agree that the south has stepped up their strength programs, but I think it has more to do with geographical attitudes. Massachusetts is trying to Ban youth football. When you show those people the medical studies that have girls soccer, hockey, etc. Having more concussions at the high school level? (Recently heard lax, too, but have not verified). They tend to respond that it's just too violent. They just don't like football . I think this keeps a bunch of kids from playing, particularly in the Northeast. Those that do, the parents may allocate less time/resources to football. It is dangerous once you leave HS. This part is just old codger stuff... I think that there may be more of a sense of entitlement in the north. Maybe I'm wrong. The best football players are often the ones that work the hardest, and feel they deserve nothing. [/QUOTE]
