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?

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. |

The writing is on the wall with the mounting research about the physical toll tackle takes on the human body. |

Although I think the rules and equipment will change a great deal |

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. |

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 |

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. |
