High school football players, who are still wet behind the ears, don't get to dictate school policy, as you suggested. The state (that you call Nanny) represents the people who pay the bills.
As I pointed outgo earlier in this thread, in most parts of this country Football costs are not paid by the taxpayer. Football pays the bills for itself and most of the rest (or in some cases all the rest) of high school and college athletic programs.
