    Illinois is about to ban tackle football for kids under 12. Should wrestling be banned also? Is it the job of the parents? My kid wont play until 8th grade but then again it's "my kid".

    There's more concussions in female soccer than wrestling, even in youth leagues. Those girls are vicious and they don't fake fouls or injuries.

    If you ban youth tackle football here there will most likely be more injuries in high school football due to lack of experience. Freshman football is going to be really hard on the coaches and kids when you have to teach them how to play, block and tackle with pads on for the first time.

    There is a rumor going around that due to the amount of people being shot and killed in Chicago they are going to ban ammunition as well as guns being as the ban on guns has worked so well ... The Mayor said if they don't do something soon there will not be enough voters in the up coming elections ... The City will issue gun free zones signs to any and all that want to post one ... The cost per sign will be $29.95 plus postage which will be a flat fee of $29.95 also ... This ought to eliminate the problems ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
