HawgGoneIt Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 https://amp.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jan/30/high-school-football-numbers-drop-brain-trauma As I read this article, I was not surprised by which states saw the largest percentage drops. While brain trauma is certainly one major concern, I still think there is an elephant in the room with competitive equity. Coaches like Negro basically saying he doesn't know whether what his program is doing is hurting the sport, but then remaining unapologetic, basically is saying he doesn't really care. Just keep his checks coming. Hey, business is business after all. Right up until your business starts a huge wildfire and you become bankrupt. We've often heard that athletes are gonna athlete... this explains increases in other sports while football experiences decline. Those athletes are gonna athlete. It's ok though. We can keep pointing fingers at all sorts of stuff while the sport withers away on the vine. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because he definitely got into high school football because of the money. You're just projecting your angst. Participation isn't down because Jason Negro attracts a lot of players to his program. Puhlease. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes your angst left off the complete statement by coach Negro Now I don't know if this is detrimental to the high school landscape. I do not feel that our success here at Bosco is hindering any other high school football program from doing the same thing and being as successful as ours. I think that we have a blueprint for being successful and we put in the work to make the dream become a reality. so as we now put into context what coach said continue with the pettiness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all it is with you and Hawg. I never said change the rules. And kids are transferring because they want to win. I dont believe that's a good thing but thats reality. Nobody wants to play on a bad team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But high school IS for preparing kids for college and/or adulthood. So that's what Negro is trying to do. Get as many kids in Southern California prepared to be college athletes.

I'm a college grad with 2 degrees but dont let that stand in your way. Hs should be preparing but we all know not every school is successful in doing that for everyone of course since not every kid will go on to college but other alternative routes.

So you think kids are transferring because they want to win and you don't think that's good. But you just got done telling us that winning is a big part of competing. 8 minutes ago, HSFBfan said: Winning games though is also a big part of competing But then nobody wants to play on a bad team?

Winning is a big part of competing but athletes today and you see it from the pros to hs dont want to grind it out on the bad team to help make it better so they jump ship. It would be better if they learned how to deal with the program they are at and help make it a more successful program and the wins then are more fulfilling. Unfortunately in reality it's not like that. Its get to the best program you can get too in order to chase the almighty scholarship and of course win games without the year in year out struggle to win.

Programs lose because of the adults. Not the kids. I always enjoy clueless people like yourself who project their deep resentments onto other people. So now you're qualified to judge the inner feelings of high school kids? Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
