Since early September, eight high school football players have suffered fatal injuries. As a result, three United States Congressmen have attempted to combat this problem while preserving the great American sport of football.
The three have asked the Centers for Disease Control, the Secretary of Education, and the President’s Council on Fitness, Sport and Nutrition to work together to study the most recent deaths as well as recommend precautionary measures moving into the future. If the bill is passed, the Centers for Disease Control will be required to suggest changes and recommendations with a year.
Due to the wide variety of causes of fatalities, ranging from heat strokes to broken necks to traumatic brain injuries, it may be difficult to produce solutions that cover every aspect of the issues. However, many believe that this bill may be a step towards protecting the athletic youth of this generation and the ones to follow.
