We must penalize leading with the helmet (offense and defense) every time. Yeah, you'll catch hell for it, but here's the alternative.
"Coach, I'll trade your anger for a kids ability to walk every time."

I don't think there is a coach out there who does not tell their kids to tackle with their head up and to the side. They talk about it, do drills to show kids how to do it right, then a kids makes a mistake and an accident occurs and the parents blame and sue the coach. This coach has done so much to help this family and this his how he gets repayed? Tell me what the principal and superintendent did to contribute to this accident? What a crock! Some lawyer got to them and convinced them there is blame share and money to be made. Obviously they weren't blaming the coach when they'd call him for more stuff they needed. This is just another example of how twisted our society has become! I feel bad for the player and his family, but it was an accident, a freak accident, and no one is really to blame. But hey if we can get some money out of it, let's do it!
