Football is a violent sport by definition. It is a hitting sport.

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.

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.

Yep. Old El Rushbo was right as usual.

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.

New California law limits schools' full-contact football practice

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.

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.

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.
