The first article I read was about the sad fact that schools cannot afford gym classes/equipment for students. I know I liked gym class as a kid, so I'm glad that some schools are able to get grants. Then I read the article about Ridge Barden, the 16-year-old football player who died. I realize football is a dangerous sport, but I didn't realize that - despite new designs for injury-prevention - football players are still dying. This is especially true for pre-teens and teens.
