Due to the fact the brain is not fully developed until the mid-twenties there are negative results playing tackle football could have on children to young adults. Although young people playing football may be more susceptible to the negative consequences playing football can have on the brain it does not mean those over a certain age are invincible to such problems, as learned from the episode.

    Nonetheless, some parents are still very reluctant to put their kids in football or rugby. This, I believe, is why high contact sports could eventually perish. Fewer and fewer kids are playing sports each year where there is an elevated risk of a head injury or concussion. (Paine) Parents do not want to gamble with their children’s mental ability and thus deny their children the opportunity to participate in high contact sports. In some sports, they have changed all sorts of rules and almost completely changed the game to ensure player safety. For instance, Hockey Canada called for a rule change to delay body checking in minor hockey. Instead of having the kids learn how to hit in PeeWee (ages 11-12), they have pushed it back an age group to Bantam (Ages 13-15). (CBC Sports) Parents were becoming too nervous about placing their children into a sport where there was hitting or hard body interaction for absolutely no reason. Why spend thousands of dollars for your child to play a contact sport and risk having them injured when there is little chance of making it as a professional athlete. Essentially, contact sports are becoming less popular among younger children and

    Several NFL players have stated that the game is so risky they wouldn't let their own kids play” (Shotz 11). This does not mean that kids can never play football, or that football is completely inappropriate for anyone to ever play. An alternative is playing flag football, which is much safer than tackle. If kids played this version of football they could focus on the many technical skills that they would need to play at a higher level. Examples of these skills would include running properly, lateral movements, the fundamentals of running the ball and throwing the ball. “Pop Warner, the largest youth football program in the country, experienced a 9.5 percent drop in participation between 2010 and 2012, and participation has only leveled off since then” (Strachan 2).
