Nothing like a good football program headed by a great coach.
The discipline my youngest son learned was incredible.

Studies would almost certainly also show that participation in high school football turns out young men with a higher degree of motivation, character, responsibility, leadership, and preparation for the challenges of life.
Everything has its risks. Life demands we calculate those risks. IMO, the potential benefit is worth it for many, but maybe not all. Each has to weigh those risks.
It is certainly not another area for more unconstitutional government meddling. It is a matter of the freedom for the individual to choose.

Football is fun.....it is also character building. I wonder if that is part of the Libs mantra ‘football is too dangerous’. Unnecessary roughness isn’t good, but that should be penalized by the officials. Hopefully.

but his parents preferred that he play basketball. So that horrific injury that the Louisville player suffered 2 years ago means nothing?

Concussion risk vs. common core?

I attended a VERY small high school, with the consequence that I got to play varsity football, where I wouldn’t have even made the JV squad at any other school. At 5’9” and 104 pounds, I took some monster hits, and got my bell rung so hard once that I thought my head was coming loose. For all that, though, I survived.

High school sports is second only to basic training in earned self esteem. Besides, high school football is fun, more so I’d guess in a small school like I attended. Life is dangerous, you can’t just hide under a rock.

I think Connecticut has only a few high schools that doesn’t have football team. There’s a growth in CT for hs football since UConn went D1A (FBS).
