@shawnemerriman It's happening

@ReggieWayne_17 The worst bro

@shawnemerriman Just show them videos of Chandler Jones and people will understand that it might be the right thing to do

@SpankyBurke23 Everything isn’t CTE sometimes people just have problems

@shawnemerriman With all the head injury information out there, why is this ridiculous - plenty of people don’t even start playing football until HS and go D1 and make the league

@shawnemerriman I urge you to look at the latest research on CTE and read the legacy stories of families who’ve lost their kids from CTE, the devastation not worth the risk for benefits of youth tackle under 12. This is a youth player safety issue based on latest science to protect youth brain…

@shawnemerriman Why is nobody lobbying against this?

@shawnemerriman This world has gone soft.

@shawnemerriman Not entirely. I get why, they wanna lessen the risk of head injuries, wait until you're older and all that

@shawnemerriman Cmon Shawne let’s not be reactionary now

@shawnemerriman Only California

@shawnemerriman But somehow appropriate for California

@shawnemerriman Ive seen videos of 5-year-olds playing football with full gear and helmets Little dudes can barley even move. What's even the point at a certain young age when their bodies cant even handle the gear? I think 12 is a good minimum imo.

@shawnemerriman Good. Just not necessary for kids that young to take hits. Their brains are still developing.

@shawnemerriman Not at all. That is the right age . No need for tackling or contact younger than that .

@shawnemerriman Rational**

@shawnemerriman “If (your child) wanted to do cocaine would that be okay with you?…Because the level of damage is about the same.” “It’s not rationale to subject children to play contact sports where in football there is a concussion per year.” -Dr. Daniel Amen

@shawnemerriman Freedom of choice people.

@shawnemerriman People still want to vote democrat though..

@shawnemerriman It should be the parents decision if their child wants to play ball. Have that conversation with their kids. It should not be the government’s decision. Another reason not to live or move to California.
