Children that small shouldn't be playing tackle football

How young do they start letting people play American football? Does it only cause brain injuries for adults?

5% experience at least one concussion per season, apparently. https://newsroom.uw.edu/news/youth-football-concussion-rate-5-study-finds

That's unnecessary roughness, a personal foul, 15 yards, and a fine in today's nfl. #unwatchable

Penalty is declined, result of the play is a turnover on downs

Seriously. Someone didn't go to the Carnival Cruise School of Holding Kids.

It's hilarious, but seriously - in no world should we be letting little kids play tackle football like this.
Then don't sign your kids up....
Also, that's like the most blatant holding I've ever seen. lol
ilikecamels
dont know anything about youth football, do they even enforce stuff like holding, etc.? I feel like there'd be a flag every play

Seriously. I don't know how parents let their kids do this given all the evidence of brain damage.
unusedmonitor3
Read a pretty fascinating article about how poorer families are aware of the brain issue but let their kids do it anyway, as a means...
of getting a scholarship/going pro. Similar to boxing in the past - it's a way out. Future costs (brain damage) are discounted...
in favor of immediate benefits - just like poorer people do across all sorts of decisions all around the world.
Think of coal mining - generations of kids followed their fathers, grandfathers, etc., into the mines, knowing that black lung awaited.

My dad made me wait until High School to play full contact football, until then it was always low contact sports like intramural kickball

I honestly had no idea they did full tackle football from this age. I'm very open about sports but this seems over the top.

Looking back, i think I had at least 6 concussions by the time I was twenty. And those are the ones I "remembered"

I was talking about something, but then my g/f walked in and I knocked her the fuck out. Something about reverse mortgages?

Fuck. I hate to be “the one” who says it, but this little kids should not be playing contact football. Their poor brains...
CrazyforRAMU
Based on the 76 other comments along the same lines, Imgur is populated entirely by ones who hate to say it, but ...
Sorry I have brain injury and can’t read
Yep. Somewhat excusable when we didn't know a lot about brain damage, but not anymore.
Kbantar
I really don't get how can anyone not understand getting hit in the head was bad.
Toiletseatpolio
It's because we took a lot of blows to the head before we even tried to figure it out.
I think it was because the obvious symptoms were very short lived. Major depression when you're 50 - hit your head when you were 12?
tinner20
Spike knocked him all the way back to the 3rd grade

How old are they? Cuz back to 3rd, I thought they looked like 1st graders to begin with... Back to the Womb, ahhh!!!

Sorry I really love football but these kids will sustain injuries that could last a lifetime. I did. Lifetime of back problems. 3 fusions
vanillabryce5101
So not worth the risk.
My dad coached HS football and, years later, wouldn't let any of us play. We didn't like it at the time, but now I can't thank him enough.
stinkingyeti
Casual game of football (rugby league) ruined my back for life. I have not encouraged my girls to play contact sport. Maybe Netball soon.
marchbald
As me it’s unnecessary risk taking. Parents have fantasies of their kid playing pro ball some day. Odds are worse than playing the lottery.
mouseforlife
Their little necks aren’t good at holding their own heads well... let alone a huge helmet.
TheBullshitter
Start with the brain damage young and you won't have to pay for college
We played without pads into our twenties, think it'll be ok buddy.
So did I. Every chance we got. Neighborhood slaughter games with junior college players and young marines when we weren’t playing organized
prepareyourbutt
so many people who are ok! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL_players_with_chronic_traumatic_encephalopathy
Check it out, we got a badass over here!
1) Without pads/helmets is a lot safer than with pads. You don't launch at each other's heads without pads/helmets...
And 2) the evidence of CTE's effects is overwhelming and only getting stronger. Just because you feel OK doesn't cancel out the science.
hockeyandgolfer224
I still think hockey is worse on the body. It's just that football is so in the spotlight in America and hockey stats/injuries are flying
Your right, it just comes down to numbers. https://nflinjuryanalytics.com/2017/06/06/just-how-dangerous-is-the-nfl-vs-other-sports/
ImSorryFriend
Pro hockey wasn't this fast or dangerous 30 years ago. The onsequences of modern pro hockey will be more visible in a decade or three.
under the radar. For now.

No that would have been giving up the 28.6 million he owed back to the colts, instead they just said "keep it"

Schefter is a Journalist, yesterday he reported first on a Star QB surprisingly retiring from the Sport at age 29, mainly due to injuries.
FullMetalHokage
Schefter is also a POS whom should still be apologizing for the lives he's destroyed through using personal information for likes.
Random, but okay. I really don't know much about him lol

Hey, 7 year old. Andrew Luck retired.
JG52
As a colts fan...too soon!
As a Colts fan as well.....that comment stung a bit
HistoricalContext
I'm sorry, man.
All good. Glad he's looking out for himself. Football is a game that's suppose to be fun. It wasn't fun for him anymore. Stayed in recovery
pollywog73
well i guess you're out of Luck then....
echoinsanity69365
As a Seahawks fan... HA!
valeriesghost
3rd round Wilson won the “Who’s better, Luck or RGIII” debate.
Luck would've won a few bowls had the colts gave him better protection. Hell he almost made it in spite of not having those things
I seem to remember, the year they all started, Wilson had his team in the playoffs longer..
WHEREISMYTROPHY
Luck was a hell of player. These guys sacrifice their bodies. Good for him for thinking about his health
I agree completely. Fuck those bashing him on social media about his decision.
SuperSaiyanSasquatch
"not for me!" Andrew Luck probably
No, I get it. I fully respect his decision. I played football all through school and I suffer quite a few ailments. I can only imagine (2
These guys feel after all those years.
