A bill that would ban tackle football for children under 12 in California cleared its first hurdle Wednesday after a legislative committee voted for the measure to be considered by the state Assembly.
Football and organizational sports in general are clearly proven ways to keep kids out of trouble, said Assemblymember Mike Gipson, chair of the state assembly's committee in charge of regulating sports in the state. This bill is not taking away that ability, it is simply saying that we're going to move from tackle football to flag football and we can still have the same learning experiences.
