To answer your original ? No it will not, and the resulting discussion and actions will be good for the protection of our student-athletes.

The liability waiver as stated earlier will preserve the game at the high school level. Playing football is a risk. I get concerned when the legal eagles and proclaimed experts step forward to dictate policy, inject fear, and impose their will to effect change. I get concerned when the non-experts inject fear.

Good steps have already been taken to ensure youth league, middle school, and high school coaches know the signs of concussion and take action to protect the players involved through training and required classes, exams, etc..

Football means too much to our country, those that have played, are playing, and will continue to do so. It's a great sport which only helps build its participants and prepares them for life. I don't see the "vaginitis" of the current culture ending HS football.

Please don't contribute to it!!!

Read closely, I agree about the "vaginitis" of this entire nation,regardless of sport(s). Signing waivers will only entice the 1st case of a kid being injured and the "unfit parent" crowd will come forward. Guys, this isn't me, you have the experts on the subject such as Collinsworth saying this. Facts are facts, the waiver would be signed by a parent really solves nothing. The parent signs because the player is too young to sue, this is out the window once the kid is old enough and develops problems.
If I had my way things would be tougher,dodgeball,football and everything would be safe. Kids who can't keep up would not be pussified, it would be growing up. The whole point is NOTHING to do about the sport, the blood ($$) is in the water, do you know an attorney who is not greedy? If so you are in the minority.

Cris Collinsworth said "he expects major concussion lawsuits in college and HS football" - that is the problem, not bringing it to light on this board.
