Not sure if I'm sad that not giving a trophy is news or glad that almost everyone is in favor of this.

Agreed, this "prize for showing up!" thing gets out of hand. Though I too have no intention of ever letting my kids play Amerikan football.
I will be quite glad and happy when University admissions, and full scholarships, aren't based on sports or athleticism. Especially when they can cause brain or spinal cord injuries.
Ah you'll be glad when your point of view is shoved down everyone's throat? People enjoy football, they enjoy it at the high school, college and professional level. Not a huge fan myself but anything that can be done to encourage MORE physical activity seems to be a net positive. Not to mention that sports in general teach kids about teamwork, hard work and competition. But yeah lets focus on the less than .01% of people with spinal injuries. More people get spinal injuries from DRIVING - should we restrict the number of miles that people can drive in the name of life?
