When the AAP felt
youth tackle
football had «no place in
programs for kids» in the 50's; now in 2015, this is a game so sacred to our society that while, modifying «would likely lead to a decrease in the incidence of overall injuries, severe injuries, catastrophic injuries, and concussions» the AAP can not recommend limiting tackle for young children as «the removal of tackling from
football would lead to a fundamental change in the way the game is played.»
