Young Athletes at Risk for Concussions

The exponential explosion of concussions in youth football has absolutely nothing to do with intensity or heightened head injury awareness.
These concussions have everything to do with using your helmet as a weapon; leading with your head and a strong desire to injure your opponent.
Indeed, the coaching cartel must stop telling our kids it's Ok to lead with your head. And the refs must enforce helmet to helmet collisions as penalties. If this trend continues; soon football will be too dangerous to play.
With all the medical and statistical data; it's a wonder that massive class-action lawsuits have not been filed.
