Two-a-Days with a conscience: how high school football is managing concussions
Unless you coached or officiated high school football you probably paid little attention to the implementation of California Interscholastic Federation Bylaw 313 at the beginning of this season, but it could change the face of amateur football. Old-school high school football coaches were known for pushing their young players as hard as possible, even if they had their “bell rung” after a hard hit on the field. In light of extensive recent research about the lifelong effects of concussions, especially on young, developing brains, high school football’s governing body started to look at a way to monitor and prevent head trauma in players during and after the games. The result was Bylaw 313, which put the onus on coaches and referees to remove from a game any athlete suspected of sustaining a concussion. Coaches and refs hated the rule at first but have since embraced it, and there’s little doubt that the parents of these players are appreciative. Can young athletes play violent sports without long lasting consequences?
Guests:
Marie Ishida, executive director of the California Interscholastic Federation
Anthony Carter, secretary of the California Football Officials Association of Los Angeles
UNCONFIRMED
Bob Johnson, head coach of the Mission Viejo High School Diablos football team

In Starstruck: The Business of Celebrity, Elizabeth Currid-Halkett explores the cultural phenomenon of celebrity arguing that the desire to "celebrate" some people while excluding others has widespread social implications including elevating and solidifying social strata and making or breaking careers and companies.
