A varsity football player from suburban New York high school died after colliding with an opponent during a game, a school official said.
Tom Cutinella, a 16-year-old student at Shoreham-Wading River High School, suffered a serious head injury during Wednesday night's game against Elwood-John H. Glenn High School, according to Suffolk County Police spokeswoman Joan Jesinger
In Alabama, Demario Harris Jr., 17, of Charles Henderson High School in Alabama died Sunday -- two days after making a tackle in a football game, according to AL.com. The official cause of death was not immediately known.
On September 26, Isaiah Langston, a 17-year-old student at Rolesville High School in North Carolina, collapsed on the field before a game, according to CNN affiliate WTVD. On Monday, his family confirmed he had died. The official cause of death is not known but his older brother told WTVD that his collapse on the field "had something to do with a blood clot in his brain."

Player safety will be addressed again (not hunh) and I also think football, as we know it, is about to change.
Lawyers about to go nuts, even more.

Will tackle football be played in 2 decades?
I'd guess no.

Football is reaching a crisis point. People are literally dying for someone else's entertainment. As big a cash cow as it is, I don't see how it continue on as is in this day and age. There is going to be a major revolution in the sport.

The philosophy of capitalism has ruined sports.
Why are (were) the Russians so creative, artistic, and magical on the ice? Because of their socialist programming. (Nudge, nudge (for the slow folks, yes that was a parenthesis inside a parenthesis, it's like parethaception)).
Socialist men are able to get off on subtle little nuances in the game that require cerebral capacity, a cerebral capacity that is swiftly vanishing from the landscape in which we inhabit.
The balls to the walls, kill em or be killed mentality that blossoms inside the minds of young men is directly related to the vulgar society in which we live.
Sports, nay, everything that encapsulates this society is rejecting these key words -- cerebral, intuition, love. We're instead choosing a path of statistical rule, mechanized mechanisms, and an overwhelmingly unrepentant attitude that disregards love in favor of material inebriations.
