They found that almost half the respondents support a ban on contact football before middle school and two out of five support a ban before high school ( Mcalister 1).
Another aspect that makes youth contact football dangerous is the stress. The stress contact football puts on youth is astounding. One point that adds a ton of stress on kids is that they must maintain certain weights to stay in their divisions. This means that kids will change their eating habits, most of the time for the worse. According to John Zenalli, an assistant coach of a California Pop Warner team, some of his players would take dietary pills to make weight to stay in their divisions. Also, Zenalli said that kids would have pads removed from their equipment to make them look lighter. That is not only dangerous for that kid with less pads, but it is also dangerous for the opposing players who would be getting hit by bigger kids who should be in a higher weight division. .
Another aspect that puts tremendous pressure and stress on youth football players is adults betting on the games. An ESPN, Outside the Lines investigation found that in a south Florida youth football league, groups of older men, mostly in their twenties and thirties, were passing cash to each other between plays. Outside the Lines found that there was much more occurring than just the small exchanges of cash in between plays. They found that sometimes the games had tens of thousands of dollars bet on them, and players were often paid for making important plays (lavigne 1). This aspect would make the youth players feel pressured to perform well because they knew that money was at stake for adults as well as themselves. .
The biggest reason contact should be taken out of youth football is the injuries and risks that come with it. Tom Brady Sr., the father of the New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, said "I subscribe to kids playing tackle football, but I don't really subscribe to them playing until they are developed".
