Street Talk: Do you support the new bill requiring doctors at all youth contact sports events?

Do you support the new bill requiring doctors at all youth contact sports events?

It may be nice to have the doctors around, but I don’t think it’s necessary. It should be up to the parents and the leagues.

I think it’s a good idea that they’ll be there just in case injuries occur. They won’t have to wait for doctors to come to them.

I think it’s good. These are hard, dangerous sports. Doctors are there for the bigger leagues. It also makes parents feel safer about it.

The question is who is going to pay for it. If the league fees go up, it could still be money well spent. I read the paper and I see kids getting hurt, so this could be a great idea and help the children.

The sports are getting pretty aggressive. It’s a good financial investment, with all these kids getting concussions.

Thomas Z.

Bay Ridge

I played little league when I was young in Lebanon and there weren’t any doctors, so I think it’s a good idea, especially if someone breaks his leg or nose, or gets hit in the face.

Muhammad B.

Bay Ridge

Good idea. The cost is fine because it’s for a good cause because they can get medical help fast, especially for head injuries.

Arthur G.

Bay Ridge

The law is understandable. I like the idea. So what if it costs more? How much more could it be? Having first aid and all that can also help.
