Not that many will even play in high school, even among the ones who played before HS.

I think people will just have their kids play later and not so early which is a good thing IMO.

But isn't it even safer playing before HS than playing in HS?

Even if schools decide to drop the sport all together, there will be some club or non-scholastic option which many will take. Not everyone is going to play soccer or baseball because those sports cost a lot of money to participate at this time.

Baseball & soccer are more expensive than football?! How's that? Football's got to cost more for equipment, insurance, officials, and practice.
