Your child can start playing tackle football at age 5, but most play flag first. When these veryRead More young kids run into each other, it's not much of an impact to be honest. I'm not saying they never give each other a good hit because it happens occasionally. I never thought of it as dangerous, though. One important note; if the helmet is making the hit, the kid is doing it wrong, and the coach will say so. A high impact helmet to helmet hit is dangerous. I watched my oldest nephew play football from age 7 into high school. He had a concussion which resulted from an under inflated helmet used during a hard hit in practice. He also had a huge helmet-to-helmet hit during a game. The risk is real, but the benefits are many; confidence, competition, brotherhood, team play, and physical fitness, to name a few.

Being in automobile accidents causes more deaths, so do motor-scooters/motor-cycles, skateboards,Read More etc....all kill more kids than football.....! Kids cannot be wrapped & stored away to keep them safe. They must learn to cope with and to withstand adversity.

The real problem at USF is Woodard. Hotz's Bulls were on a skid for the last half of the 2011 seasonRead More and Woodard offered a contract extension. An extension that now, six months later, will cost USF another 1.5 million.

These guys play a high level of softball. The modified pitching (50-60 mph) creates more of aRead More defensive game vs. what is often seen in slow pitch softball. They play with one home plate, sliding, and 10 players. Many over 50 softball leagues have taken the prementioned aspects of the game out.

The black out rule is no different then when we were kids and one kid decided to say, "it's myRead More ball if you won't play my way then nobody plays". I don't know about you but every kid I knew laughed and walked away. The greed that the NFL and Glazier family have displayed is not unlike the that bratty little child. The public does seem to be laughing and walking away. When the new stadium was built the Glaziers were under the impression that bigger was better, well they were wrong. A 35,000 seat arena would have been fine and would have on avg made them more money and always been full. Greed is a lesson most of us learn when we are children. Looks like the NFL and Glazier family are late bloomers but they will learn nonetheless.

If they want to cont. the black-outs, so be it. I have a lot more to spend my dollars on . than gameRead More tickets and overpriced parking without even getting into the horrific food prices. That goes to the Ray's too. These owners get a FREE place to reap their TV profits. I'll take a deal like that!

I was a fan of the Buccaneers since 1979 and even had season tickets in the early to mid eighties.Read More When the greedy NFL owners instituted the black-out rule though, my interest and support for the team stopped. The citizens that pay sales and other taxes subsidize the stadium that these games are played in and for the owners, who profit from the yearly subsidies, to institute this rule is a slap in the face to every fan in this area. Not everyone can afford to attend games at the taxpayer subsidised stadium and to prevent these members of the community from watching the games on TV is inherently unfair. Shame on the greedy NFL owners! The citizens of Tampa Bay should boycott the Bucs until this practice is abandoned. I don't watch or attend their games anymore and hope they continue to lose just like they did for so many years as the Tampa Bay Yuks!
