I'm not a big fan of organized football before high schoool.

My son opted to have his kids play YMCA flag football instead.

Why not just let your boys wear skirts and panties?

There is nothing wrong with Texas football....except having grade schoolers playing their games in 110 degree heat in August, and the coaches are getting better about letting the boys drink water now.

It’s no accident that the NFL is full of players from TX and the South.

I read the article, viewed the video, and immediately checked my TV schedule to see if this train wreck was available with my cable provider. It wasn't, but something called “Texas Rodeo Tykes” is. Maybe they'll have Texas kindergarten bare knuckle boxing next.

I liked football and played it in school but this is too intense for nine year olds. As indicated in post 3, YMCA flag football is a much better alternative for young children.

My twin boys are pretty athletic....They’ll letter in cross country, wrestling and track as Freshman. When they both decided to forego football, I wasn’t disappointed, not one little bit.

This is obviously over the top and totally wrong, but, the NFL can mind it’s own business.

Here in my home town the local sports talk station has a certain former coach on a midday show. The guy coached at several schools in Division I (back when it was Division I) and also with the Miami Dolphins and another NFL team...

"Too soon."

Kids are being pushed into football too soon. In coach Smith's (not really his name) opinion, "about Junior High age, 12 to 14 or so" is the right time for them to start if they choose to.

Same. And from what I see in the trailer, this is horribly abusive and should be stopped. How can a Parent let their child be subjected to this?
