How totally asinine and illogical, to even attempt to equate the contact
in Pop Warner, with the contact in the NFL.

Coddle the little yuppie spawn and raise another generation of
incapable, progressive thinking girlymen.

They aren't even allowed to play in the dirt.

How about better helmet designs, for starters?

There is one school of thought that blames the (too good) helmets and
pads for the rise in injuries. They allow one to use one's body as a
weapon without risk to the aggressor. There are a lot of injuries in
rugby but few life-threatening ones.

This country is ****ing toast ...

Indeed it is.
