News reaches me from the colonies that our rebellious descendants are spreading their love of playing sports adorned with all manner of protective clothing into the wonderful world of football. Or "soccer" as they insist on calling it. USA Today reports that a New York youth league has introduced a rule requiring all players 14 and under to wear headgear to prevent "concussive injuries". Presumably, they're still using the old-style leather footballs capable of soaking up 10 gallons of water, or their addiction to pads will soon see them taking to the field in a suit of armour.
