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.
Played the game in Kalifornia, albeit 30 years ago. During the off season we never played full on tackle. We just hit the weights and attended 7 v 7 Passing league.
During the Season we did do a lot more contact, live situation work. I think this will effect the quality of the game, but IT IS FOR THE KIDS.
I killed a defensive player in high school football, the pads and protection aren't a total guarantee.
