While adult players can, and do, sustain life-altering injuries from playing football, teenagers have a higher chance of serious, long-term injury. According to a September 2007 New York Times article, At least 50 high school or younger football players in more than 20 states since 1997 have been killed or have sustained serious head injuries on the field.

Caution Bones; insulting football is synonymous with defacing the Koran. Its a fanatical religion in this country.
I have no opinion on children playing football, but I do have very strong opinions on deadbeat dads that spend their kids food money on Comcast sports packages and season tickets. I think they should have their balls squeezed.
