111 brains of former NFL players were submitted for study and 110 came back with brain damage. The doctor said changing the helmets will not solve the problem. The best way to solve the problem is to cut down the time a player is taking hits. They are recommending that youth football be stopped, and that kids can not start playing football until their freshman year in high school. I started playing tackle football in fifth grade. I had one concussion playing king of the mountain and was hospitalized in third grade. My son did not play football and played high school golf in the fall, yet he was a big strong kid who kept being recruited by coaches who wanted him to play football. Should we restrict young people from playing tackle football?
