I think targeting a young audience for the NFL is pretty odd anyway so its a bit over the top but good grief the guy who wrote this article quotes a dude who is basically saying this is going to get kids killed.

There are plenty of other programming available much much worse than WATCHING football. It's up to the parent and child if they want to participate in the sport.

First person shooter video games, violent movies...all much worse than the ultimate team sport that values working together with your fellow man to come to a common goal. There is no sport out there where working as a team is more important than football IMO.
