The longer I teach marching band, the less I like football. An entire Friday night spectacle devoted to watching children give each other head injuries.

@Ruthat Our state allows them to play ad long as the temp on the field is 99F or less. 99!!

@danialexis @Ruthat I do not know the stats but guns are the leading cause of death of youth.
We had a youngster die playing little league when he was hit by a pitch in the chest by a ball.
I don’t want to minimize the death of anyone. I would say it is more dangerous to ride a bike than play football. I would stop football on the basis of brain damage.

@BFBucky1 @danialexis Politicians care far more about making sure football games continue than the kids playing.
