All deaths of children are tragic. I think American football has morphed into an incredibly barbaric sport. I remember watching high school games 30 years ago that were great, but the idea then was to score points, not to damage the other side. Rifle clubs and archery clubs are healthy outlets for kids primal energies. Much healthier than running in the street playing C&R, or C&I, or WW2 with toy guns.
