Let's just pretend this isn't a revolutionary change to the nation's leading sport while we also pretend revolutionary changes are typically fully adopted by everyone without question. Your "argument" is willfully ignorant of human behavior in general, you know damn well the risk associated with youth football resulting in traumatic brain injury is, fortunately, statistically zero, but sure, let's all pretend that fact isn't real. You also know your attempt to associate "pro lifers" with parents who might oppose such a rule is a pure red herring, a logical fallacy, and rather juvenile in my opinion. For the record, I support limiting tackle football by age and I'm pro-choice, but that shouldn't matter because arguments made that are ignorant of objective and factual premises don't concern bias, something you appear to have an issue with.

Lol what? You can't be serious, can you?

Let me just help you out here -

A CDC study published in Sports Health reports youth tackle football athletes ages 6 to 14 sustained 15 times more head impacts than flag football athletes during a practice or game and sustained 23 times more high-magnitude head impact (hard head impact).
