i’m a football player and coach’s try and try to teach players how to tackle but a lot of players have anger that they want to release so they don’t really listen
They teach them the proper tackling techniques and there are plenty of penalties for it but sometimes it's either that they dont care abt da rules bc of anger or they need to make a quick tackle and they accidently lower their head
@@cinco7984 Exactly. That is how I broke my back in three spots playing college lacrosse. Fractured T1, T2, T3 and still have not recovered fully after 3 years. You cant coach/referee these types of hits and stop them from happening. When you are on the field, things just happen and unfortunately, they can result in serious consequences. I signed up for this. I knew the risks. I made a bad play. I payed the consequences. Simple as that.

It’s not that you need to ban football, you need to properly teach them how to tackle, so that aren’t just landing on people. Ive been playing football for 5 years, and I know that when people tackle properly, no one gets injured.
@@MASKEDMANGUITAR Right, but its thought that sub concussive hits are the main cause of cte so theres no way to really prevent that other than to not play football. I guess you take a certain risk that I don't think is worth it unless you're making a lot of money and even then it's still probably not worth your well being or life.
@@stevenglansberg4448 then again. CTE can show up whether you play sports or not. A hit to the face in basketball can cause it, a header in soccer can cause it, and just sports in general will cause it, but I’m sure a little bit of pee wee football won’t be so bad. The people with cte are usually, nfl, Semi-pro, or college players. Not people in middle school.

I played high school football from 2004-2007 and one of the very first things the coaches did with us every year was watch the clips of all the guys that were paralyzed/killed due to leading with their head... It doesn't explain it too well in this video, but when you lead with your head/lower it you basically line up your spinal cord to absorb the entire force of the contact right to an area that not only isn't made to do that, it basically is your bodies highway to the brain. Nerves, control of limbs, control of breathing, control of HEART PUMPING... all of it has some basis in the spinal cord. Don't want to mess around with that, period. Keep your head up, lead with your shoulder and focus on the guys waist (his center of gravity) so you won't get juked/have your arm tackle be brushed off. Stay safe everyone!

This is due to coaches not teaching how to tackle correctly. I’ve played football my whole life and I’ve never gotten injured when tackling or getting tackled.
I tore my mcl when someone missed a tackle and flew into my block but that’s it lol. I’ve even successfully pulled off a stick hit and nobody got hurt. I’m sure he woke up sore though.
There is no "proper" tackling technique, even if you dont have tackling theres high chances of people hitting their head on the ground with great force. Even if the contact if on the shoulders the brain still gets rocked back and forth.
Rest in peace to everyone who has passed away from tackling, but removing tackling from High School football was probably the worst idea I've ever heard. Maybe instead of completely ruining the sport, forcing coaches how to teach players how to tackle would be a better alternative. Without tackling, football would be the most boring sport to watch.
Tackling in football is what keeps it fair. No tackling, you could win by luck. Its a skill that need to be developed. If you play football, you understand the risk of injury in football. I play tackle football as a Wide Receiver a lot for fun with my friends, with no protection, and people get hurt. I saw a comment saying "Football without tackling is like soccer without kicking," and that's pretty accurate.
Running your head into anything over and over again will cause brain damage or worse. All the arguing in the world will not change this science or common sense. Even children know this. It is the job of adults to keep children safe and not encourage this kind of behavior. If an adult wants to run their head into things then let them. A helmet will not keep your brain from slamming into the inside of your scull. Why is this so hard to understand?
You realize that if you remove tackling from football the sport would never be the same. Big hits is what football is all about, no tackling means the sport is basically done for.
Yeah the sport can be fun to watch overweight steroid dudes who can't pay attention in class run at each other as fast as possible and bounce off, but lets be real its a pretty dumb sport...
looks like a good way to hurt your back too. I played linebacker. you hit with your shoulder so you can your full body weight behind it, just like a fullback is going to get low and drop his head leading with his shoulders into the hit.
Tackling doesn't cause injury or death, It's the form of how you do it. Most coaches aren't educating their players how to tackle the right way. So no it doesn't make sense and they're not gonna remove tackling.
If players can learn not to "roughing the passer" then they can be taught how to properly tackle without serious/deadly injury. Now coaches have some work to do.
Honestly I think hiring rugby coaches to teach tackle technique or getting football players to watch tackling in rugby games would seriously help. In rugby, the lack of protective gear/padding/helmets has necessitated a real focus from youth level to the pros on how to tackle properly and safely but effectively as well. As some one who loves football and has played rugby all my life, I really think there are things the NFL, NCAA and youth football could learn from rugby and adapt to football
He hits above the head, but usually with the shoulder, not the helmet. I think Burfect could calm it down some because other players have, but Shazier probably hurt more guys than Burfect ever did, including himself.
This is one of the reasons my mom doesn’t want me to go to the nfl and I don’t either. I mean she would still support me if I wanted to but neither of us really want it
@@arctictwudle5492 Tackling doesn't cause injury or death, It's the form of how you do it. Most coaches aren't educating their players how to tackle the right way. So no it doesn't make sense and they're not gonna remove tackling.
Cars are different from football. Some people are just naturals at driving. My dad expected me not to crash and I never drove back then What's your point.
All right. Listen. This is FOOTBALL. Big hits happen, injuries happen, and, in the saddest and worst case scenario, deaths happen. It's terrible but in a sport where you throw your body into another human being there is NO WAY to be "safe." Do I want people to get injured or die? Absolutely not, but these kids, young adults, and pros playing football should know the risks of playing a violent sport and are willing to accept the risks. You can work on your form for tackling, and you probably should, but when two men are running full speed at each other about to lay them out, you can't really control how you hit. If you want football to be a safe sport then take off the pads and put flags on your hips. Otherwise, suck it up and instead of getting yourself injured, injure someone yourself. This is football.
Or instead of trying to injure other players and ending up hurting yourself, make sure your players know how to tackle. So many hs players just run into guys head first trying to make a play. Wrapping people up isn't as cool as giving someone a concussion, but it's safer for both sides. I agree that taking away tackling is a dumb idea, but saying that the solution is to injure someone instead is idiotic.
+Juiceton727 You missed my point; when two people are sprinting toward each other, that man holding the ball isn't just going to let you wrap your arms around him like coaches tell you to. To be clear, my point is there is no definite way to always tackle. Sometimes that 260 pound linebacker running full speed at a 220 pound running back will lay out that running back. When you're in that moment, you're not thinking about appropriate tackle techniques. You're thinking about stopping the ball carrier.
+Jakob Kane I get that and agree, I just think there are too many guys out there that just torpedo into players. It's hard to have a clear message when you advise guys to injure players. That's the attitude that leads to guys getting killed out there.
these are reasons football is being ruined because people that never even played football have to put there opions out God u should at least have played football before you tell someone how to tackle
+† Ca7e † I would not know what to do with myself if that was me. I would probably pray to be taken off this earth and pray that Andre makes it to heaven. I would not be able to look anyone in the eye. My heart goes out to both of them. I truly hope the Lord has forgiven that person, and the Lord will help him to somehow be able to move on with his life.
To those young men who lost their lives on the field ...dont rest in peace ..rest is for the old you young men play in peace..heavens league awaits..play in peace young men 🙏🏼🤲
tackling is very low risk of injury when done with proper form. people get hurt when they do not use proper technique or chicken out because they are scared of contact (learned from experience)
I don't think that's necessarily the case. My brother has been playing football for 14 years now has had crazy coaches who would actually encourage illegal hits as well as overhearing opposing teams' coaches doing the same. I think making sure punishments for illegal techniques is enforced maybe we'll see a change.
I think everyone is taught, but when you got a guy that's either faster than you or bigger than you, running full steam ahead, it can be hard to make sure you have your head in the "right" place.
then they shouldn't be playing the game. no need to change the rules and ruin it for millions just because a few loose their life's. its a dangerous sport, and everyone knows it.
Its not a problem like everyone says.. 7 players a year.. You know how many people die from hockey, Soccer, Sledding... If that make football tackle less.. Then its not football... Why does everyone take something that is said to possibly hurt you and try to make it how they want it
CancerTube My point is everytime you get on that field you could die. You know that when you pu on the pads and helmet. You can't change the game because of a few unfortunate incidents. It's very close to a combat sport and these things occur
no it's not. the objective of football is to score touchdowns (on offense) and stop the progress of the ball (on defense). exactly HOW one stops the runner can be implemented in many ways. learn how to construct a legitimate analogy first
football injuries are cranial in nature therefore affecting the players entire life. soccer injuries tend to be single to trouble leg bone break which are nasty but can be repaired. (realize that this is a generalization of these sports injuries, but you "get the picture")
In the 70s in high school we were taught to lead with our head and hit as hard as you could. I broke our star QB's collar bone in practice when I hit him. So much for the season after that... He went on to play professional baseball.
No tackling football? That is like saying no pucks in hockey because it can hurt the goalie, or no bats or balls in baseball because they are too hard and can injure people if they get hit.
baseball players don't run nearly as much risk of getting CTE because there's little or no skull contact. CTE happens from repeated hits to the cranium, and it can happen fast. a recent study showed even some high school football players have mild CTE after ONE season. kids playing football before the age of 13 have an increased risk of developing neurological abnormalities later in life. google it.
You think hundreds of highschoolers have died over the past 20-some years from hockey or baseball? For every one example of a highschool baseball or hockey player dying there are many many many more examples of a football player dying..
@@shawnfreeman3932 bro have you ever seen hockey I’ve seen guys go through the glass and also have you ever seen someone get ran over at catcher I’ve had it happen to me a couple times before pitchers will severely hurt their arms pitching this season on my team we had some have a high ankle sprain a broke two broke wrists on different people a torn ligament in a shoulder and another almost broke their collar bone
+justhuherr well as the parent you knew what your son was getting himself into when he signed up to play yea it's bad he died but he wasn't ignorant to the facts of football
Let'z-B-Gamerz He is referencing a movie where Will Smith portrays a man who was advocating for player safety in the NFL and exposing the lack of concern about concussions and what not. I think it was named Concussion. Based on a true story. I forgot the details though
I feel bad for these guys. They’re just trying to play the game they love and some are damn good at it and actually have college scholarships on the line. Shame that this happened to them. You could tell that teammate at the funeral was SHOOK when his friend died.
How about we stop letting people that don't play football telling us how to play. When I was a kid I was fully aware it is a dangerous sport, if you or your parents can't accept that, don't play. You can't make a dangerous sport safe 100%. What's next 60 oz gloves in boxing? Headgear in mma? Every year people will get hurt in these sports and sadly some will pass away, but you can't destroy the fun for the 99.99999999999999999% of people that don't have a freak accident.
College coach: What football experience do you have? Highschool kid: I played flag football for many years because tackle football is no longer a thing

I tore my mcl when someone missed a tackle and flew into my block but that’s it lol. I’ve even successfully pulled off a stick hit and nobody got hurt. I’m sure he woke up sore though.
I broke people’s bones when I played, broke my own nose, and tore a tendon… You must have played in a soft league
Sounds like you played on the west coast 🤔
@@capncrunch4298 you a real tough guy aren’t you…
There is no "proper" tackling technique, even if you dont have tackling theres high chances of people hitting their head on the ground with great force. Even if the contact if on the shoulders the brain still gets rocked back and forth.
Football players are warriors man, rest easy to the boys who lost their lives
Rest in peace to everyone who has passed away from tackling, but removing tackling from High School football was probably the worst idea I've ever heard.
Maybe instead of completely ruining the sport, forcing coaches how to teach players how to tackle would be a better alternative. Without tackling, football would be the most boring sport to watch.
If you remove tackling it will ruin the game
Noah Graglia no shit
@. we don't have to
Oh my i didnt think of that wow. Fucking little bitch
Hardly any fumbles
It'll protect the players though. You have a better idea. Tackling needs to be for NFL not school

Tackling in football is what keeps it fair. No tackling, you could win by luck. Its a skill that need to be developed. If you play football, you understand the risk of injury in football. I play tackle football as a Wide Receiver a lot for fun with my friends, with no protection, and people get hurt. I saw a comment saying "Football without tackling is like soccer without kicking," and that's pretty accurate.

Running your head into anything over and over again will cause brain damage or worse. All the arguing in the world will not change this science or common sense. Even children know this. It is the job of adults to keep children safe and not encourage this kind of behavior. If an adult wants to run their head into things then let them. A helmet will not keep your brain from slamming into the inside of your scull. Why is this so hard to understand?
You realize that if you remove tackling from football the sport would never be the same. Big hits is what football is all about, no tackling means the sport is basically done for.
No tackling means no football at all. It would literally be 7 on 7 flag football if you took it out. And thats not real football
+droidtrooper100 I mean it wasn't real football anyway
+droidtrooper100 yes real football 11 v 11 where you actually touch the ball with your FOOT

Yeah the sport can be fun to watch overweight steroid dudes who can't pay attention in class run at each other as fast as possible and bounce off, but lets be real its a pretty dumb sport...
“Now this morning, the American Academy of Pediatrics are *tackling* the issue”
I don’t know if that was self aware, but holy f* that was uncalled for
I noticed that too lol
No tackling thats like watching tv with no tv
Nice tackle demo. No one's gonna tackle like that unless they wanna be stood up and run over.
thats what i was thinking
that was literally the same thing I said
looks like a good way to hurt your back too. I played linebacker. you hit with your shoulder so you can your full body weight behind it, just like a fullback is going to get low and drop his head leading with his shoulders into the hit.
Then let the kids die, if they don't want to play safe why try to help them at all
lead with the shoulder way less dangerous than helmet to helmet hits
lost me at stop tackling
I know. Your going to get hit in the head. It in every sport. Not doing it is unrealistic
For real tho lmao I just kinda paused the video and stopped for a second
I had to go back and re watch it to make sure I heard it right
Yeah me too. I had to stop it after that attempt to show us what "no tackling" meant.
Daproperdocter that's one of the only reasons I like football
Tackling doesn't cause injury or death, It's the form of how you do it. Most coaches aren't educating their players how to tackle the right way. So no it doesn't make sense and they're not gonna remove tackling.
It’s not because we’re not taught proper tackling. It’s because everyone wants to be in those biggest hit compilations
If players can learn not to "roughing the passer" then they can be taught how to properly tackle without serious/deadly injury. Now coaches have some work to do.
This is based on your extensive experience playing and/or coaching football?
Honestly I think hiring rugby coaches to teach tackle technique or getting football players to watch tackling in rugby games would seriously help. In rugby, the lack of protective gear/padding/helmets has necessitated a real focus from youth level to the pros on how to tackle properly and safely but effectively as well. As some one who loves football and has played rugby all my life, I really think there are things the NFL, NCAA and youth football could learn from rugby and adapt to football
Screw Rugby
Frank Lange Can I ask why you feel that way?

He hits above the head, but usually with the shoulder, not the helmet. I think Burfect could calm it down some because other players have, but Shazier probably hurt more guys than Burfect ever did, including himself.

@@arctictwudle5492 that’s on them, they want to play the sport.
it’s similar to driving. you can’t give someone a car and expect them to not crash when you never taught them how to drive correctly and safely.
Amen big dawg
Coudent been said better brother
Good explanation
Cars are different from football. Some people are just naturals at driving. My dad expected me not to crash and I never drove back then What's your point.
No way we gonna remove tackling, that’s not even the bad part, it’s how the players are tackling
POV: all the comments are about football with out tackling
“What should we do lightly place them on the ground”
All right. Listen. This is FOOTBALL. Big hits happen, injuries happen, and, in the saddest and worst case scenario, deaths happen. It's terrible but in a sport where you throw your body into another human being there is NO WAY to be "safe."
Do I want people to get injured or die? Absolutely not, but these kids, young adults, and pros playing football should know the risks of playing a violent sport and are willing to accept the risks. You can work on your form for tackling, and you probably should, but when two men are running full speed at each other about to lay them out, you can't really control how you hit.
If you want football to be a safe sport then take off the pads and put flags on your hips. Otherwise, suck it up and instead of getting yourself injured, injure someone yourself. This is football.
Well said
Or instead of trying to injure other players and ending up hurting yourself, make sure your players know how to tackle. So many hs players just run into guys head first trying to make a play. Wrapping people up isn't as cool as giving someone a concussion, but it's safer for both sides.
I agree that taking away tackling is a dumb idea, but saying that the solution is to injure someone instead is idiotic.
+Juiceton727 You missed my point; when two people are sprinting toward each other, that man holding the ball isn't just going to let you wrap your arms around him like coaches tell you to.
To be clear, my point is there is no definite way to always tackle. Sometimes that 260 pound linebacker running full speed at a 220 pound running back will lay out that running back. When you're in that moment, you're not thinking about appropriate tackle techniques. You're thinking about stopping the ball carrier.
+Jakob Kane I get that and agree, I just think there are too many guys out there that just torpedo into players.
It's hard to have a clear message when you advise guys to injure players. That's the attitude that leads to guys getting killed out there.
Very well said, not to mention that the players know what they are getting into and the risks they are taking
Football without tackling is like war without weapons
Condolences to Andre Smith and prayers to Damar Hamlin
these are reasons football is being ruined because people that never even played football have to put there opions out God u should at least have played football before you tell someone how to tackle
Yup
Football must have already caused you some severe brain damage
That is why i love Rugby there is no head tackles
+Christian Johnson head tackles are a flag in football too it's just sometimes it just happens, no one is ever taught to lead with their head
True, and my dad hit with his head. That was back in the 70ś tho

tackling is very low risk of injury when done with proper form. people get hurt when they do not use proper technique or chicken out because they are scared of contact (learned from experience)
You gotta comit to the tackle or everyone gets hurt
The problem is that many players aren't taught hiw to tackle properly.
Exactly
I think they are, but alot of the time they don't really enforce it.
I don't think that's necessarily the case. My brother has been playing football for 14 years now has had crazy coaches who would actually encourage illegal hits as well as overhearing opposing teams' coaches doing the same. I think making sure punishments for illegal techniques is enforced maybe we'll see a change.
I think everyone is taught, but when you got a guy that's either faster than you or bigger than you, running full steam ahead, it can be hard to make sure you have your head in the "right" place.
Most players know how to tackle correctly, but it's hard to do so when you're in the heat of the moment. It's a skill developed over time.
It's a dangerous sport and people will get hurt. Just the way it is
lol
then they shouldn't be playing the game. no need to change the rules and ruin it for millions just because a few loose their life's. its a dangerous sport, and everyone knows it.
Its not a problem like everyone says.. 7 players a year.. You know how many people die from hockey, Soccer, Sledding... If that make football tackle less.. Then its not football... Why does everyone take something that is said to possibly hurt you and try to make it how they want it
+CancerTube parents and the kids know the dangers of any contact sport. and the injuries that can occur.
CancerTube My point is everytime you get on that field you could die. You know that when you pu on the pads and helmet. You can't change the game because of a few unfortunate incidents. It's very close to a combat sport and these things occur
Taking away tackling from football is like taking away a steering wheel from as car.

no it's not. the objective of football is to score touchdowns (on offense) and stop the progress of the ball (on defense). exactly HOW one stops the runner can be implemented in many ways. learn how to construct a legitimate analogy first
7 people playing high school football while 8 died playing soccer in 2015... Shit happens, whats the point?
football injuries are cranial in nature therefore affecting the players entire life. soccer injuries tend to be single to trouble leg bone break which are nasty but can be repaired. (realize that this is a generalization of these sports injuries, but you "get the picture")
+Taylor Smith he's talking about deaths. Not injuries.

+Itz Basilisk Its a rough sport and the number 1 sport in the world
In the 70s in high school we were taught to lead with our head and hit as hard as you could. I broke our star QB's collar bone in practice when I hit him. So much for the season after that... He went on to play professional baseball.
Rip.. love to the family and victims!
No tackling football? That is like saying no pucks in hockey because it can hurt the goalie, or no bats or balls in baseball because they are too hard and can injure people if they get hit.
baseball players don't run nearly as much risk of getting CTE because there's little or no skull contact. CTE happens from repeated hits to the cranium, and it can happen fast. a recent study showed even some high school football players have mild CTE after ONE season. kids playing football before the age of 13 have an increased risk of developing neurological abnormalities later in life.
google it.
@@roflmows say that to the players/fans that took a ball to the head

I go back to this because it's not tackling, its getting hit in the head.
@Wyatt Baker like damn. The media is truly filled with idiots.
How about we stop letting people that don't play football telling us how to play. When I was a kid I was fully aware it is a dangerous sport, if you or your parents can't accept that, don't play. You can't make a dangerous sport safe 100%. What's next 60 oz gloves in boxing? Headgear in mma? Every year people will get hurt in these sports and sadly some will pass away, but you can't destroy the fun for the 99.99999999999999999% of people that don't have a freak accident.
