Comments from 11/3/19 Poll - Existence of Football

Much concern has been expressed about safety in football.  Looking ahead 20 years, do you think tackle football will continue to exist in your school/district?

Answer Respondent
It's a huge sport with a huge following. Sports equipment needs to be made better, safer. Rules need to be in place - and enforced - to keep kids safe while playing. Anonymous
The writing is on the wall with the mounting research about the physical toll tackle takes on the human body. Anonymous
Although I think the rules and equipment will change a great deal Anonymous
Something is needed to exert energies in a structured and fun way. If you get rid of tackle football, then get rid of boxing, wrestling, and every other contact sport. Anonymous
Unfortunately, we will overreact and in the interest of “safety “ we will over protect over coddle and turn the next generation of Americans into a group of nonrisk taking underachievers Anonymous
No bc parents now run school districts. They are by nature, as a group, litigious, so schools will need to move away from it as they have playgrounds. Anonymous
