I’m not a football fan, but it seems to me that you have to practice tackling and escaping tackles to really get good at it.
Therefore, this seems like a stupid idea. See my tagline

College touch football. Or will they insist upon flag football? Imagine the NFL recruits that come out of that scenario.

Football is for p*ssies.
Real men watch and play hockey.

In the Army we always said you train like you fight.
I’m pretty sure the same applies here.

“I can’t go over the middle and catch this pass! I’ve got a chemistry mid-term!” “I can’t tackle-I’m going to be a surgeon.”

This make’s as much sense as Airborne military avoiding jump injuries by no longer staging training drops. Wait until is for real.
Or when we were getting tossed around by 10 foot waves and the B-BOX hollers “This is a drill....all hands man your battle stations.” An adventure in bouncing of vertical steel.

Why don’t they just drop football and switch to badminton?

Football is for p*ssies. Real men watch and play hockey.If that's so, how come there aren't calls to get rid of hockey because it's too dangerous. Besides, football requires intelligence.
