Save Youth Football - New York

This is what you are trying to ban @mikebenedetto82. “Tackle football has been an amazing sport for my little boy.” @saveyouthfbca @USAFootball @NFLLegends @AYF @Pop_Warner @SFHSfootballNY @DiPietro4NY @DickGottfried @nypostsports @cayfalliance @Youth_Football @KieranLalor

@BobHoldenNYC New York has more important issues to deal with.

New Yorkers are being shot, stabbed, assaulted & robbed while our elected officials continue to neuter our police force. Instead of focusing on public safety, we're diminishing the quality of life of New Yorkers under the guise of police reform. The insanity has to stop now!

@kimberlyarchie Kimberly, we sat in on an incredible insurance presentation today. Liability doesn’t seem to be an issue insuring leagues, so what exactly is your point?

It’s called liability. Flag is the future. Embrace it.

@ChrisNowinski1 @AspenInstSports The report clearly states this. “The chart above tells an interesting but nuanced story, shaped by the historic challenges & opportunities presented by COVID-19. Not surprisingly, 2020 produced many data complexities, making it very difficult to compare to previous years.

@ChrisNowinski1 @AspenInstSports 2020 was a Covid shutdown year and most youth sports did not have a season across the Country. The numbers are actually representative of that especially the decline from the year 2019.

Parents beware: according to the @AspenInstSports, only 27% of youth coaches received training on #concussions in 2020 - ⬇️ 1.4% from 2019! aspenprojectplay.org/state-of-play-…

@ChrisNowinski1 We assume you’re saying all other youth sports coaches in boxing, wrestling, basketball, etc. are all 💯 certified in concussions?

Just joined TikTok. It's shockingly easy to find supposedly banned youth football practice drills like this passed off by proud coaches as highlights. Only 1 in 4 youth football coaches have training on #concussions, and 0% on #CTE. Why do we allow this to continue? Shut it down

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

“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/commu…

@mikebenedetto82 can you tell us why youth 🥊 is ok, but not youth 🏈? “The program is 10 weeks long and open to children 7 to 12 years old. Children under 10 years old, must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.” csboxinggym.com/kids-boxing/ @NYYFAlliance @saveyouthfbca

Everything you’ll ever need to know about youth tackle football is said right here. 👏👏👏 @cayfalliance @massyfa2 @SaveYFNY @savefootballMA @AYF @Youth_Football @Pop_Warner

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

Listen to this @Benedetto4NY the California Government passed a protect youth football bill and you are trying to ban it. Do the right thing and stop your ban youth football insanity. @saveyouthfbca

Injury increases with a child’s age and @Benedetto4NY wants to ban youth football for kids 12U. Makes all the sense in the world!

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!

@Benedetto4NY knows where they all are that’s why he wants to ban youth football, right Mike? @nydems @nytimes

This is crazy! Come on @Benedetto4NY you can do better than ban youth football in our State!

This is what @Benedetto4NY @mikebenedetto82 is trying to end in our State. “Youth football made me the man that I am today” @saveyouthfbca @CSAPrepstarNY @TaconicYFC @NewYorkHSFB @NyackFootball @ths_warriors @nytimes @nypost

@Benedetto4NY no clear evidence.
