Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 2172988, member: 874"] We're not talking about high school football. They're six year olds. If you wanna ignore medical science that's cool, go bang your head against a wall. But don't create situations for kids that don't know any better that can damage them later in life. It's not like adult flag football where people know how to hold back so that you can have a safe and reasonable level of contact. It's little kids that are either full on or full off. There's literature suggesting tackling should be held until high school too. It'll never happen because football is too big of a god to allow us to care about the safety of developing brains in preteens. We adults need to live vicariously through our kids.
