we've gotten the most shocking in some ways most tragic and i think most of
them for peewee football gain in history and its leaning to penalties not for the
players but for the adults involved in the game and so what you're not gonna
believe how violent the ski we for paul games
so on the very first play in this is between the south bridge pop warner key
reason arrivals potential school breaks epic rivalry
dot on the i've been dying to see what happened i gain for
and that if there is not all year has on the very first plate soon that entire
school players were hit so hard that the coach of the pull them off the field
uh...
they didn't and i medical evaluation of them and then to come out of the game or
whatever understand these boys are as young as ten and is light lower than one
hundred twenty pounds it can be more than that by legal rules
six plays in the game another brave was removed after hardhat and it just got
worse from there none of the the south bridge players are going down by the way
so not only did they get up about twenty eight zero lead in the first quarter
which eventually result a fifty to two zero just demolishing ability
but five of players if they can offer concussions
five kids that concussions in one day
on one scene
three in the first quarter
one on the last what and yes official first-place in last place
contestants
and so uh...
in in this case it turns out in public the marshall
and if one size getting killed you know who wrote it might yet approaches in the
or the wraps response a
no moss okay
but the socks right now like i said beloved country gushes happen on the
first play and in the first quarter right but even that he couldn't seem to
think that is if it's up to date now now
troubles as adults the idea of stopping game seems ridiculous and it seemed to
be listening coach who's losing actually
he said i want to give my kids a chance to compete
andrea actually put some points on the boards they can feel like hey you know
what we didn't quit
and he was wrong
because our kids they're not adults you don't have to finish the game you're not
a quitter etcetera
and and another thing is that they had lost so many injury
the man she couldn't put the letter
kids on the pip
when you're less than a lot of kids that's what you wrap up a pop warner
yeah jag so they're totally wrong on this
i think i'm gonna go further i think it's just all we had a crazy co-chair
two coaches another guy
there you go to school although homework movement
they get get kpc did that a lot of europe's archaea
so the coaches were wrong the russian to stop at play here you'd never guess
suspended you know the coaches are suspended through this year at the
restaurant done and probation through twenty thirteen in the rapture dot okay
so i got all that in
i'm gonna go further i wouldn't allow my kid to play peewee football
band that's pretty strong and look and going into this story
i never imagined it was that bad violent but they described is based on these
kids are using their heads is battering rams moving into a concussion it's hard
to diagnose because your mostly relying on what the player says like how do you
feel like can you see it correctly can you hear correctly those kids they don't
know enough about their body and even say in so we there's five confessions
that reported there also tension conditions that were reported and by the
way you know that happens all the time this happens to be an extraordinary case
with a respond one game
but imagine how many concussions are not reported throughout uh... the country
pop one of the week and locate to really important things here number one kids
fraser still developing when that battle
so iris my kids brainwashed so the balcony so they can join a pop one of
this crazy no white sorry what kids head is actually bigger as a proportion to
his body than adults so
they already have big bullet will has a big part of our literally right doling
out cash in your watch if i were team i have right
they're like them like this and of course and i had everywhere that and so
yep it or not but it's not to say that they should never play football
it's just the same while their brain is still developing
that's when i'll be a little bit more careful to get in touch perhaps
if i had
look look as uh... you know rough-and-tumble america read one
american and i played football for may three two then a high school and i love
to a boxing model carry all uh... on that almost all kind not a big deal but
not a big it literally nothing and a great but um...
now that i know the reality and now we know the dangers of these contractions
well we have more evidence and so i would say act i can have an advantage
ed look i i want to play pop or as a kid i remember my mother telling me it's too
dangerous i just felt like al my god what are you talking about how dangerous
for the day
dress up and industry and insiders say that
sometimes a helmet helmet hits
or the equivalent of a slight chance
camelot ten-year-olds consider hits and i had the misfortune right
