A few years back, I thought there would be more of a push to regulate/limit American, at least contact, football. But didn't happen. Soccer? Good luck.

100% anecdotal… one of my town’s youth football (American) clubs shut down before COVID due to lack of interest. When my son played ~15 years ago, the club was fielding 2 teams per age group.

And knowing what they know now, I wouldn’t let a child play today.
