As someone who grew up in TX it still stuns me that in 2019, middle school and high school tackle football are not seen as child-abuse. Best of luck to anyone

Best of luck to anyone recovering, fortunately I've only had one mild concussion from a bike accident where I struck a jaywalking pedestrian.
- criddell 7y agoIn youth soccer, heading the ball has been eliminated due to concerns about brain injury. It seems like the more we study the effect of many small impacts, the worse we realize it is. Eventually I think touching the ball with your head should be the same penalty as touching it with your hand. I'm not sure how you fix football though. I'm just glad my kinds never wanted to play it.
