If parents decide that their kids shouldn't be allowed to play football, that's their personal decision and I have no problem with it. What I have a problem with is New York State Assemblyman Michael Benedetto who drafted legislation to ban youth football period:

NY would ban tackle football for children younger than 14 under Bronx assemblyman's bill

Although he sounds like he's well intentioned, Assemblyman Benedetto is misguided in his effort to ban youth football. Not every kid is into soccer and there's boys and girls (yes, we had a few girls that played and were contributers!) that are rough and tumble kinds of kids that really enjoy playing football and it's family friendly with parental involvement in coaching, spotting (insuring that every player gets to play a minimum number of plays), chain crew, concessions, fund raising and as board members. It's all for the benefit of the kids who are playing football and cheerleading. While I appreciate Assemblyman Benedetto's concern, he's sticking his nose into something that's none of his business! The decision to play youth football is up to the parent and their children, not some politician in Albany. This reeks of nanny statism and I hope that Benedetto's bill dies a quick death.
