>The UK's chief medical officers (CMOs) are being urged to protect children from the risks of rugby injuries by removing contact from the school game.
>Prof Allyson Pollock, from Newcastle University, is presenting new evidence that banning tackling would reduce concussion, head and neck injuries.
Bin that knife, ban that tackle, toast that toast, breach that hate speech, what's next for Ingsoc?
The UK is quickly becoming that friend that isn't allowed to do anything.
You can't argue against it without resorting to manliness fallacy.
protip: same shit is going to happen to handegg as the brain damage studies pile up
>tackling in school rugby
We played "OZtag" in primary school, I never played for our highschool (such a shit HS I don't think it even had a team) but we certainly weren't allowed to play tackle out on the field at lunch time.
Mind you that didn't stop us....
She's been spouting this shit for about 5 years now, her son got fucked up in school and she's screeching like a shrill bitch about it. No one actually gives a fuck about her.
Concussions in developing brains really do fuck with a person's quality of life. Helmet maybe?
I heard banning cars reduce terrorist attacks and car related deaths.
I sure can. The whole thing is a spook. It's not about "safety", not at all.
All the kids at school are insured. If they get there hurt they're getting money. Which means insurance company makes lower profits than they would if the kids weren't insured. That "Professor"(in what?) is worthless scumbag trying to push insurance lobby.
> if the kids weren't insured.
injured*
Exploding healthcare costs.
These guys are scared to lose their job once there really isn't any money around anymore.
yes you fucking can. By banning kids from tackling and scrummaging they never learn correct technique in those thing when they are small and the forces are less so once they are able to tackle and scrum they will be completely unprepared for the forces and will get injured much more
Is it the school's actual sports team or are they just talking about physical education or something? We always did flag football or two hand touch, but the actual school team tackled.
she's talking about banning tackling and scrummaging from all rugby up until a certain age
What ages? Sorry I'm asking for spoonfeeding, almost 2AM and I'm too tired to read a whole article
If they die young, they'll never grow old to guzzle alcohol, worship sports, and subsidize Muslims to rape their daughters and step-daughters. The Jews' need their worker-bees, and today's white men cheering on violence are tomorrow's Auschwitz SS guards.
The prop on our school team got a herniated disc at 15 which I imagine has been fun for him to live with
Just stick to league and stop forcing poor kids to play union shit and theyll be fine
t.britfag
doesn't say in the article but I would guess under 13 for no contact and then different rules for under 18s
Will there be any men left in Britain in 20 years?

That is a fault of whoever taught him how to scrum. League is terrible
i was never able to tackle in school,being in england. we've had this in most schools for a while now and its fucking retarded, i mean how are you going to learn how to play rugby without playing? plus we had a feminist teacher so fml right.
>Just stick to league and stop forcing poor kids to play union shit and theyll be fine
>this is how faggots actually think
This
it's so fucking dumb, trying to learn how to tackle or scrum when everyone is done growing is just dangerous because then you're dealing with the freaks without ever getting the chance to learn correct technique when everyone is the same size
Fucking working class brits and their brittle bones.
No one else in the world seems to get crippled or killed playing rugby and cricket
it's symptomatic of why Britain is failing, they're unable to do anything difficult anymore so they just roll over and let the muslim hordes flood in
>League is terrible
K
it really is, it's a retards game.
Agree. Though, if we can segregate the sexes in sporting activities, why can't we segregate the Polynesians and the Maoris from the white men? The game would be a lot less violent.
League is a tough, fast and structured game aimed at kids who aren't rich, gay or kiwi enough to play Union.
"Union is for gentleman who play as thugs, League is for thugs who play like gentlemen"
Do you mean less violent as in less fights and more actually rugby?
Cause it's always so sad when you put a big hit on a coconut and they flip out because they can't take it

Union has plenty of structure if you're able to think on your feet. Of course league retards need to have a set play after every tackle, might as well play gridiron.
And that quote is supposed to be about rugby and soccer
Might as well ban knitting, someone got a needle lodged up their nose and lost a chunk of brain.
Now post in nigger speak

I actually think helmets would make it worse. because they don't wear helmets there arnt many head collisions. the occasional accidental one or maybe you cop a knee to the head. I have always wondered in they didn't wear helmets in NFL if it would actually help the head trauma issue because people wouldn't run head first into each other
I'd assume its the brain injuries that are the most insidious, I'm not really up to date on the science but the CTE talk is all the rage these days
In response to the whole kneelgate shit in NFL, america should start a super rugby type sport with all steroid filled players. just knock the shit out of each other.
> manliness fallacy
> letting young boys work out their energy in a constructive way instead of training them to feel ashamed of themselves and become repressed nu-males is fallacious
League sucks. Union or death
Can someone explain this game?
That's not a Great Britain thing, they've already done that here and that's why kids play flag football.
Nobody relevant cares about rugby
It’s terrible.
But being young is all about testing your limits and that means sometimes you get injured or sick. Stop coddling children or the next generation will be even more sensitive and unable to deal with the world than Millenials are.
hahaha the absolute state of the UK
You are far more correct than anyone in this thread realizes.
It's in the news because it's ridiculous.
I prefer if we just let the jews start back their gladiator games, with lions and death and killing so they will get their rocks off there instead of keep sending us to shitskinland to die for fun.
Remember poorfag chavs don't play sports other than soccer because they think they'll die if they do
They're even too scared to play cricket because the ball is too hard lmao
jesus what a sad country
aww
"manliness fallacy" for fuck sakes really?
You happen to be from Tampere? Do you "study" social "sciences".
Britain is a nation of mega pussies, no wonder the US wanted independence.
>banning tackling would reduce concussion, head and neck injuries
And banning running/hiking would prevent ankle and foot injuries, banning camping stoves would prevent burns, banning climbing would prevent falls and banning etc etc, Doing interesting things carries risk, if you eliminate risk you will live longer with fewer injuries but you and your life will be boring as fuck.
I hated rugby, had my collarbone broken, but my dislikes and bitterness shouldn't ruin it for everyone else.
If we are going to ban anything we should ban leftist women and their male enablers to stop the decay of the west
>some no name cunt academic says something
Why should I care?
>someone says something
OH MY GOD LOOK AT THE STATE OF THE UK THEY'RE BANNING TACKLING IN A SPORT I'VE NEVER HEARD OF OH MY GOD
You guys are by far and above the most consistently triggered group on the internet. No one is banning rugby. Only big sport getting banned is the NFL.
rugby was an excuse for big kids to smash little kids.
Nah thats bull rush
I had to be fucking fast and keep my head on a swivel playing rugby at school being one of the shortest. It was really good fun.
fucking this, you have to learn the proper technique or else your going to get smashed. Small kids can't do much damage to each other, don't have the power or mass. When I was a young lad I'd scrap with my brothers nearly every day, as we got older we still fought but we had learned what would and could cause real damage and refrained from doing it, same principle with any sport
bulls rush? bulldogs?
the same as british bulldog or red rover
it's coming to the USA
hopefully it'll destroy the NFL
Is it fuck, you can be small and effective in rugby of you're not a fucking pussy
I anything it was always seen as a chance for the small kids to gang tackle and smash the big kids
You were a hero if you put a bit hit on big fat Hemi
>britcucks
I agree league is a shitters game made by socialists, union is way better
jesus this makes me sad
Contact sports evolved before anyone cared about safety. What started the CTE emphasis is the shitload of military TBI caused by repeated, mild concussions. Then they studied handegg players and one thing led to another.

Concussive impacts are bad shit. Eat some pig brains with breakfast and note how delicate (and tasty) the tissue is.
Yeah, it'd be more sporting and less gladiatorial
Dear bro we have decided here that the only BBC to be linked is to be the Pidgin version because it's better
Very different at my old school then, little kid gets ball and gets piled on by scrum gangbang or whatever it is called in that silly game.
Never going to happen, where i'm from near Wales rugby is a bigger game than football in schools.
In school I got injured more playing basket ball than I did playing rugby. Hell more people got injured playing football than rugby.
Studies actually have shown that.
The more protection a sport have, the more common the injuries ... because people "trust" their protections and have less hesitation doing dangerous shit. The protection do reduce the injury's seriousness, but instead of one very bad injury from time to time, you get chronic problems from small, repeated impacts.
Have you ever been hit in the nads with a cricket ball?
Trust me, after experiencing this, you'll want cricket abolished and deleted from history.

idk about you but in all my schools tackling was banned in all rugby games unless you were playing for the school team, and even then, only for specific 'contact' teams. Teachers would give you huge shit for playing any other way than the non-tackle alternative.
The pom disease extends to it's colonies too.

Pupils are taught how to properly tackle in Rugby. It isn't like American football where you just throw yourself at someone's body. You aim to grab their legs and connect the side of your race with their arse. It's called "cheek-to-cheek" if you play properly no one will get injured from a tackle. All they will get is bruises or grazes on their knees.
