Just what we need, more government imposed limits on free people’s lives.
Quick, rush and play that wussie sport that they call futbol. (which has more head injuries).
The parents who want safety can have their son try ballet or swimming, but the most competitive boys/men will always be drawn to the most competitive sports. I guess that's hard for the wet-noodle crowd to understand.
That's just the way it is. To make football ‘safe’ is to make the game something other than football.
That’s why they call it “nanny state”...
Solution to football injuries is... no pads, full-contact fooseball. A young punk player ain’t quite so bold when a hit may do damage to the defender himself.
American Football bores me... Professional football is more like a 3 minute television timeout every 2 minutes.
Rugby, son. Play Rugby.
1) Discourage the kids from playing the game; you dry up future participants.
2) Introduce cretins like Michael Sam and make the NFL politically-correct and bow down to a tiny minority; you disrupt the current status and alienate viewers, which causes the NFL to lose fans and money.
3) Have retired players sue the snot out of the NFL with head injury claims.
And what people don't realize is that the liberals have targeted football since the days of Teddy Roosevelt. In fact, Roosevelt almost banned the game unless it became more safe.
Does this apply to public schools AND private schools?
So they finally got around to outlawing Football, it figures.
This isn't true.
They provided provisions in the new laws allowing for full contact if a homosexual perverted sex act is occurring on the field.
Guess they’ve never watched rugby. They’d be apoplectic.
I have a friend who has ALS, which I would not wish on anyone including Obama. POSSIBLY partially as a result of playing Div 1 college football.
He does not want to see the game wussified. Period.
I will respect his wishes.
Teaching boys to become 1/2 pussies. ..
Government Nancy Boys, lesbians and homosexuals are doing their best to turn the USA into a nation of pussies.
It begins. Insurance companies are going to kill football.
The implication in the article is that these limitations will apply to high schools. But we are talking California, where insanity always metathesizes, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up applying to colleges as well, eventually.
Which means it may not be too long until the rest of the country looks forward to playing USC, UCLA, Stanford, Cal, San Diego State and a bunch of others.
Looks like USC, UCLA and Stanford will be recruiting from out of state.
Sounds racist, considering disproportionate impact. Possibly limit college recruiting from California high schools.
Pro flag-ball?
