Most people won’t blink when seeing this judgement by the California Appeals Court on Archie vs Pop Warner. “The district court granted summary judgment to Pop Warner because Appellants’ causation experts rendered unreliable & thus inadmissible opinions.”

We mobilized 451 youth football organizations and we consist of 6,262 members strong! We have 16,132 petition signatures- all from the NY State football community. How about we set up a true public hearing on this proposed ban? @DickGottfried @Benedetto4NY @mikebenedetto82

We still have youth boxing in New York. @mikebenedetto82 @DickGottfried
You know banning youth football is a fraud agenda when 9 year olds are still boxing. “Damon Flores improved his boxing record to a near-perfect 20-1 after winning a pair of prestigious titles in a two-week span.” cerescourier.com/sports/yout… @SaveYFNY @savefootballMA @USABoxing

“As a little loop player myself growing up in East Aurora, I vehemently oppose the ban on youth tackle football,” said @DiPietro4NY, Republican Assemblyman representing the 147th District. @Benedetto4NY @NYYFAlliance @saveyouthfbca @NewYorkHSFB arcadeherald.com/articles/co…

Why is @mikebenedetto82 @Benedetto4NY not trying to ban bike riding? He says he cares about kids safety but he’s decided to ignore all the other head injury children receive from all kinds of other sports. @nypost
“and the No. 1 culprit is cycling with 40,272 incidents. Football comes a distant second, with 21,878 incidents reported. And yet no one is calling for a ban on bikes.” nypost.com/2019/11/30/the-mo… @nypostsports @SaveYFNY @savefootballMA

Injury increases with a child’s age and @Benedetto4NY wants to ban youth football for kids 12U. Makes all the sense in the world!
“Children between the ages of 5 & 14 account for nearly 40 percent of all sports-related injuries treated in hospitals. On average, the rate and severity of injury increases with a child’s age.” usatoday.com/story/life/allt…
See this @Benedetto4NY you are wrong just as the other States that tried and failed to ban youth tackle football. End this insanity and pull your bill. @NYSA_Majority
Mr. Ban Youth Football @Benedetto4NY here’s something you could actually get behind and do some good with. Stop your insane youth football ban idea!
If only these ban 🏈 happy politicians would focus on real health issues effecting kids, we all might be better off. “In 2017, suicide was the second leading cause of death for children aged 10 to 14, teenagers 15 to 19, and young adults ages 20-24.” christianpost.com/news/suici…

Looks like @mikebenedetto82 will need to ban children from waking up and getting out of bed. These are responses to a post in the SaveYFNY Facebook group and show how much injury kids are receiving from everything, but youth football. #stoptheban @nytimes @saveyouthfbca

Will @mikebenedetto82 @DickGottfried listen to this? If they did, they would see why their downstate youth football ban is a joke. Politicians do not love another persons child as much as their parents do. Stay out of this and let us parent. @nytimes
