Why are you assuming the poster is a foreigner? On a multinational message board like HN, I think referring to it as American Football is entirely appropriate.

High school football is far more than just "dragging down" the opposition. There are tons of hits, big and small. For linemen, the smaller hits appear to be cumulative in damage, so the concern about concussions isn't the only major effect.

HN is not a multinational forum. It's an american forum where anyone can participate. Also, the article is about USC linebackers. > High school football is far more than just "dragging down" the opposition. I don't really consider varsity/jv football players to be "children".
