Safety concerns rise after football head injuries prompt calls for age limits
The National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research notes 2023 saw three football related head deaths and ten other fatalities from heat or illness. Experts urge reduced head contact, promote flag football for under 14, and cite New York and California debates over youth tackling rules while noting all 50 states have concussion laws. Guardian caps and other safety measures gain traction, though no device fully prevents brain injuries. Riddle reported from Montgomery Alabama.
