Two interesting articles. The major issue detailed in my opinion is that sports for children helps prevent obesity, however, why would the ban on contact sports be brought in? Surely in turn that will cause a rise in child obesity?
However, concussion and head injuries have grown due to the increase in sports participation and in schools the removal of tackling in rugby, but where does all this end? Repetitive head injuries can cause future problems in mental health, physical health and social issues.
