First 3 I can somewhat see their point. Increases risk of brain injury. The last one is just propaganda. Not all guns are the same. Most have little to no recoil. Even their feared AR-15 has very little recoil.

Plenty of conservative physicians or nurses would tell you 2&3 aren't worth it, although obviously you can mitigate risk. Seems like the football evidence is there overall, I doubt a year of middle school football really poses much risk.

But what's the rationale for #4? Because they're scary?
