#NewYork #TeenSports #Football
Why do I see kids leading with their helmets to create a larger hit/injury than they could with their small body? Refs and coaches let this go on. If your coach is not chewing a player out for leading with the helmet, then they're part of the problem. My sons coaching staff doesnt have an issue with kids ,"targeting" and that's a problem, a huge problem.
You cannot prevent everything.
Footbal = played by the world and with your feet! American "Football" is played with your hands!

"DEFIBULATOR" 😂😂😂
I heard nukular power plants keep defibulators on hand in case anybody's heart is in a state of fibulating.
FOOTBALL (US) kills.
In Europe we play soccer.
Was there a pre-existing injury? He may of had a concussion prior to that football game and not known it. RIP Tyler.
How about before u post a story you know all the facts on this event! And pulling things off the parents Facebook that again you no nothing about.
This child did not die because he played football!! There were underlying factors, nothing that had to do with the football game.
This is why the media causes so much frenzy. Get your facts straight before you bring and or talk about a boy and his family that was such a tragedy!!!!
The word is spelled and pronounced defibrillator.
did they pray before the games.
Meanwhile for every one such death there's 100s who die from inactivity.
Why not designing and mandating better helmets? Am I missing something here? Head injuries but they talk about defibrillators and action plans. The kids did not die of heart attacks but brain damage. Nothing they talked about will help with brain injuries. How about BETTER HELMETS?
Poor kid has a mullet to boot.
Waste.
I bet soon bidet will accuse the soldiers of botching the retreat. |
top excuses for orange woman bad 1) circle back 2) Trump 3) denial |
When ISIS finds US citizens the call already is “off with their headsâ€ÂÂ. It’ll happen. |
It was approaching the time to take his meds. Biden is a big boy now🧠|
Just look at all the squirmy, wide eyed body language of Jordan. |
How can she live with herself, it for the $$$$ how much can you pay someone to lie??? |
Be afraid people, the stupidity in this administration is yet untapped. |
They are currently wearing military gear and flying helicopters. |
Don’t watch fox videos if the comments are turned off.’ |
It's embarrassing how terrible Jen Psaki is at public speaking. 😳 |
😠Utter massacre of British forces. |
She repeats her version of what others say to answer important questions. |
Fox is also a member of mainstream media. |
The more they said to Trump, "stop this!" The more powerful Trump felt! |
Nobody has taken sincere responsibility as yet. That's the tragedy. |
Gutfeld makes me laugh atleast 7 times a show |
45 Savage – Moe Factz with Adam Curry |
Can we just eliminate football completely already
TIME TO BAN KIDS' FOOTBALL IN AMERICA.
IF adults want to earn THEIR living in that manner, fine.
THESE GLADIATOR CONTESTS ARE NOT FOR KIDS.
Football makes allot of money and jobs but the sport is dangerous because you have people charging at each other at full speed with their whole body. You can’t make the sport safer. It’s like how do you make gladiator games safe?
More school kids die from shootings every year now and less is being done about that

RIP PRECIOUS ANGEL
Simple, hold the parents accountable. We always preach safety for our kids, but some/most parents live through their kids. Honestly/truthfully, all professional programs shouldn’t push or maybe slow down the process of nourishing that “talentâ€ÂÂ. Starting at pee-wee football or other physical sports. Think of it this way. Imagine how many hits a child takes by the time he/she get to /if they make it all the way to professional status. Money drives these parents/kids (at a later age)
Condolences to his family ðŸÂƒ🌷ðŸÂÂÆ’.
Today's sports are the equivalent of the Gladiator games…. And sometimes, just as deadly…No amount of fame and or fortune is worth a life…ðŸ’â€Â
just don't play. long term brain injury is real and irreversible
