Mckenna is right, American football players do *spear*(lead with their heads
when tackling)their opponents, How, it is rare because it's against the rules
and heavily penalized. Anyone being tackled will have referees watching it, so
it's hard to get away with. The idea is to tackle with the shoulders, not hit
with the top of the head.

Would love to see two NFL teams square off in a game of "touch" football!
LOL. Saw part of a rugby game recently and wondered why they weren't wearing
helmets. Here's the scoop on that, from an article in the Guardian:
"While American football may be a niche interest in the UK, rugby is often seen
as similarly dangerous – so should David Cameron be as worried as President
Obama? Not according to Jim McKenna, a professor of physical activity and
health at Leeds Metropolitan University (and a rugby coach). He points out that
American footballers tackle with their heads, butting each other in a way
seldom seen in rugby. "They butt the opposition and their head is the tip of
the missile, with an enormous body of weight behind them," says McKenna.
Meanwhile, the helmets and padding the US sportsmen wear can actually make the
situation worse, he thinks, encouraging them to use more force.In rugby it is
spinal injuries from scrums that are the most dangerous (110 rugby players in
Britain have been paralysed by playing the game). Allyson Pollock, a professor
of public health, says that she is very worried about amateur rugby players,
and especially children. Coaches, she says, are not properly trained to look
out for the signs of concussion or taught how to deal with it – although it can
have serious problems for children's learning and cognitive functions. She
would like to see large-scale studies of the effects of such injuries, and says
the sport establishment needs to think carefully about tackles. In 2010, she
called for scrums to be banned after a study found that 190 rugby matches at
Scottish schools resulted in 37 injuries. "Most children are not going to go
professional, so why are their bodies being mauled and mashed and battered?"

I agree with Doug on this. Football gives you brain damage. What a horrible
thing to inflict on these young men just to entertain the populace and allow
some people to make lots of money.

Itwas the 50th professional football stupid bowl, will it last anotherdecade in
its present form? Apparently enrollment in junior and high school
footballprograms is way off. Will it have sufficient recruits to draft outof
college programs in four years? Football asks way more from thehuman body than
it can give. It becomes simply immoral to support itany longer given what we
know about its injuries. How many more hitscan they sustain before they simply
must change to become theProfessional League of Touch Football? ! ..The Super
