[quote=Anonymous]I have heard various justifications from parents who let their kids play. They don't move to tackle until middle school or high school. The rules and equipment protect them much better now. Their kid doesn't play a position where the constant head trauma is common. I don't know. I have a son and I'm relieved he has no interest. I have empathy for these parents. It's a tough age and I believe football teams provide some kids who might otherwise struggle a place to belong and a positive experience in the moment. So to forgo that known positive for a potential negative is a tough decision to make.[/quote]
