[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Football participation rates are way down, especially for full team high school football. I love the sport as a spectator, but after the concussion stuff started be coming clearer I drifted away from watching it. I do think it's a shame that it probably can't be done safely, because I know people for whom football was a really positive force in their lives as players and I do think intesne physical contact can be a good thing for kids when it's safe. Still, I'm glad I have a daughter and don't have to make the choice (she also hated skating when she tried that which ended a brief interest in playing hockey).[/quote] That's wrong. Youth tackle football participation rates have increased, beginning in 2021. It's an interesting question about how families have re-assessed risk after the pandemic. My son plays tackle football. And he wrestles. I did the same.[/quote]
