With the brain injury crisis, will kids play high school football in 2025? The Voice of San Diego will hold a discussion on Thursday, Feb. 12, at Francis Parker School, J. Crivello Hall, 6501 Linda Vista Road, San Diego. Doors open at 6 p.m., discussion starts at 6:30 p.m. The discussion will explore if enough is being done to protect players, who’s leading the way and whether or not it’s possible to reduce the risk without drastically changing the game.
Confirmed panelists include Roger Blake, the executive director of the California Interscholastic Federation; David Casey Jr., an attorney from the law firm that represented Junior Seau’s family and a former NFL player; NBC 7 San Diego sports anchor Jim Laslavic; and Howard Taras, professor of pediatrics at UCSD.
VOSD members can attend this event free, there is a $10 admission fee for all others. Free parking is available at Francis Parker School, and the San Diego County Office of Education parking lots.
