New York politician seeking to ban tackle football for kids

New York politician seeking to ban tackle football for kids. This fall, collisions killed more skateboarders in the city that Assemblyman Michael Benedetto calls home than youth football players in all of the United States… so just another misguided Democrat busybody intent upon the complete wussification of American boys.

  • Someone probably mentioned it but Obama has said more than once that he wouldn't let his imaginary son play football so I am not surprised. I feel bad for Sasha and Malia... this imaginary son of Obama's, certainly that has to hurt a bit. I mean come on Obama at least stop with the son bit. It is grating on me and I am not even his daughter I can only imagine what his daughters may think. I feel that Democrats wanting to control everything like this is obviously a plan perhaps to feminize males to make them weak and less capable of intervening in the plans to come? Don't know... but otherwise it doesn't make sense. It seem capricious.

  • Damn it! Kids should only be playing video games! If they try to play the games for real, they're just going to get injured! And being out in the sunlight might give them cancer! There's also the threat of dehydration if they start sweating!

    It's high time we merely shut down the real world and just do things on our TV sets.

  • It's even worse then the wussification factor I'm afraid. Organized sports like football teach teamwork, and instill pride in the players. Now the liberal control freaks can't have that happening now can they.

    • Teamwork is only permissible if it benefits the collective, pride is not permitted because it instills the idea that there is such a thing as individual exceptionalism, and there is no such thing in the world of participation trophies.

  • Not soccer, but in hockey, Al Arbour, who coached the NY Islanders to 4 straight Stanley Cups, who is a Hall Of Famer, & 1 of the greatest coaches in sports in my lifetime, ran an entire practice without pucks. Including a full squad scrimmage. Now he was pissed at things at what was or was not going right at the time.

    As far as matthew's soccer story, its just like the "we don't keep score" leagues. Stupid as hell because despite what those who don't want hurt feelings, the kids ARE keeping score.

  • in canada they play soccer without soccer balls so everyone gets to score-true story-so why not turn us into the same liberal shit hole right? I'm outta here!

  • That, and most fans lean Progressive or Libertarian? Redskins is a perfect example. Only progressives have an issue. NFL fans could give two poops-in-Al's-pants.

  • Perhaps it's time to ban politicians..they want to regulate everything, yet nothing gets down and nothing goes right..We are now in the Twilight Zone...

  • This is making children and boys in particular into nothing but weak lens. Andre53 is right, by doing this now, the dim wits hope to drive out the instinct of being willing to take on tough challenges and willing to exert maximum effort.
