Facing legislation that might have banned youth tackle football in California, parents, coaches, and football fans rallied in a fierce offensive, ultimately defeating the bill. “The Safe Youth Football Act” proposed a ban on tackle football for children under 14, in light of recent research that shows playing before age 12 can incur lifelong cognitive consequences. We discuss the future of youth football, the failed legislation and hear from advocates on both sides of the debate. What do you think — should children be allowed to play tackle football? Why or why not?
