[Football1]

There is a catch 22 with all this, and that is Personal Fouls are judgement calls. Calls made on the fly, where sometimes one ref is all that sees the penalty or think they see the penalty.

So while I sympathize with your story, and totally agree that something needs to be done to protect football from dissipating over the next few decades, we have to keep in mind the consequences.

What if your son is playing in the regional finals and gets ejected on a questionable helmet to helmet call that could have gone either way and you lose that game, or better yet win that game and have to play in the SC without him? Now you have a son that worked all year to be a part of something special and he doesn't get to play in the biggest game of his life because a ref made an incorrect judgement call? I think you or any other parent would be on the other end of the argument.

I lived that with my oldest son losing two games of his senior season due to a bad call. I protested loudly to KHSAA about he 2 game rule along with others. The rule was changed back to 1 game suspension as of this year. No consolation to my eldest - but better for those that follow.

No greater threat exists today to the game of football. Concussions, head injuries, and the results thereof literally threaten to wipe the game away. Is it not better to have the game survive on the shoulders of inevitable bad calls than to see it disappear completely at the hands of litigation and athletes with life long disabilities?
