Glad you asked. I'm learning as I go along and I just learned who Patty Sexton is by doing a search online. Try searching, "Give some thought to call to ban HS football". From what I understand, she is a Penn. school board member and a teacher. 1) She doesn't think taxes should fund HS football. 2) She worries about the possibility of expensive law suits (which would put tax payers at risk) and 3) she worries about serious long lasting injuries to students.

If you were to do as statistic study of the number of people that play football versus the 325 deaths from 1982 - 2008 (what happened to 2009 to the present?), you will find it is a very small percentage. I am not saying that even one death is worth it but in the statistical model it is very small.

Thanks. I understand it's not a lot, especially if you look at the number of deaths per year and then per month.
