A YMCA in South Sioux City, NE just announced they are cancelling their youth tackle football program.

Thoughts? Is this only the beginning?
Isn't there the possibility of sustaining a concussion in any sport, so shouldn't they cancel any sport/activity that carries with it the possibility of sustaining a concussion? Soccer? Wrestling? Insert any other sport here?
Don't we have more protocols in place now than we ever have for football and other sports? If the increased protocols and advanced technology and ever improving equipment are not enough, where will it end?
