Current Events > So how long until football starts getting banned from high schools?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's inevitable now that CTEs are well known, unless the rules of the game are changed.

Never. Money rules all.

Nah, not over the health of kids, especially when parents start refusing to let their kids sign up.

It wont be banned parents just wont let their kids play until the only people playing are poor black kids and poor rural white kids

There are still parents who insist on beating their kids despite the plethora of research that says it does no good.

There will be ignorant morons who will simply refuse to believe the danger is real. Getting football out of schools would require legislation.

I don't think it should be banned at the high school level. Below the high school level it should be, there's no reason to have 10 year old bashing their heads into each other. Flag football can teach the fundamentals to kids and by the time they get to high school they'll be ready to learn to tackle. But the other half of that is coaches who teach proper tackling technique and discourages use of the head.

CTE is a small price to pay for being a chad

Any tackling contributes to CTEs.

More like any collisions. Just practicing with a tackling sled is going to give you CTE if you do it enough

Yup. They'd have to remove tackling to make it safe.

Theyd have to eliminate line play as well. A lifetime of head butting the dude across from you is not good for your brain
