"Most reasonable people"

I promise you there are far more people pushing for athletes to get some kind of compensation off their likeness than you think and I am from the deepest red state of all the red states. Also tackle football being eliminated for children under 12 years old is not a radical idea. Most kids under 12 cannot control their bodies to properly tackle anyway.
