I think you are generalizing about this generation way too much. Yes, moms are much more concerned than they used to be, but back in the old days they weren't even allowed to open there mouth about their opinion. The difference is now they can actually voice their concern. Father's are beginning to question it because they see stars athletes tear ACLs all the time in football or they pass out in the middle of a game from a helmet on helmet. No, there aren't that many injuries in Pop Warner because they're all pretty much the same size. I bet the statistics on Modified and JV injuries are ridiculous though. 
 
And don't give me this crap about people being tougher back in the old days because that is false. Have you been over to the sandbox on deployment for a year? I have, I did it right out of high school. I saw and felt crap I hope nobody ever has to see. Parents are beginning to realize that there is more to life than sports like an education so that you can actually get a job. All I'm hearing is stubborn dismissive views from an old time baby boomer. This isn't the 70s anymore, and society has changed for the better. America isn't tougher than anyone else simply because we play football.
