Well passed crazy, how are you going to prepare you body for the impact if you don't practice it.

They'll be playing flag football soon, eventually replaced by "Please be down" requests.

Don't want to risk getting concussions. These guys have a future outside football.

I just hope they get a safe space on the sidelines, to nurture their delicate sensibilities.

And please don't use any dangerous or "trigger" words in their safe space... it's a place where reflection, diversity, inclusion and respect for each other's personal space is honored above all else.

There's a lot of evidence that contact practice without helmets reduces head injuries in practice and on game day. Not sure how you learn to tackle correctly without contact though.

That is almost word for word what the domestic terrorists at the University of Missouri said when they basically took over the campus. Immediately after declaring the room the safe place, they told all the white students to leave the building.

the hit-angle they don't have to follow thru with a real hit... heck, gometry is traumatic 'nuf.
