I think we're starting to see the beginning of the end of grass roots Canadian Youth football.

Parents aren't going to read articles like this one and rush out to register their kids to play the game.

Too many coaches don't believe in and aren't teaching their kids safe contact. They take the course so they can continue to coach, but they can't be bothered to teach it because they want their kids playing old school helmet first football.

The various Football associations don't do enough to enforce it and the referees are either too inexperienced or two intimidated by coaches to call it.

Even watching the pro games like the CFL and NFL we have players coming into tackles heads down and you know something, they're not doing youth football any favors at all.

Instead of leading the way, the pro's are just throwing dirt on the grave.

I would expect that less and less kids come out to play football and peewee and bantam and midget and high school ball becomes a fringe sport.

Sitting there and saying 9 concussions are within the game? Come on man, I doubt that.
