Dr. Paul Butler is on the school board and says the sport puts players at risk of brain damage later in life.

Dover High's athletic director points out that the school is part of a concussion prevention program.

The school board chair and vice-chair say they will not support the proposed football ban.

More high school student commit suicide then any ex-football players.

Maybe we need to close the schools causing these so they children has a chance at a older life.

Am I the only one that thinks these problems will be solved if we just take off all the pads and go rugby rules for tackling?

It would completely change the game.

Better equipment, education and some rule changes (like they are already implementing) will solve the problem.

These people just don’t like football because they think it teaches violence and aggression.

I hate the rule changes in the NFL. Its ruined the game.

All because Goodell is a wuss girly-man and a fine-happy imbecile.

Go back to the 60’s and 70’s way of playing.

BTW, no one forces any kid to go out for football, OK? They assume any risk and don’t need any nannies or rule changes. It makes ‘em tough.

The rule changes are driven mostly by the NFL not wanting to be sued.

Football players are MUCH bigger, faster, and stronger than they were in the 70’s but their skulls have not evolved the way everything else has.

So does a public school education - can we ban those too?
