An NFL-backed youth football safety program does not reduce injuries the way organizers claimed in online materials and even Congressional testimony, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.The Heads Up Football program offers in-person and online classes teaching proper tackling techniques and safety procedures for games and practice. Promotional materials claim that an independent study has shown that the program reduced injuries by 76 percent and concussions by 30 percent.?However, The New York Times found that the study by?Datalys Center for Sports Injury Research and Prevention, which was published in July 2015, found no demonstrable effect on concussions during the study, and significantly less effect on injuries over all.Heads Up has received millions of dollars from the NFL and is overseen by USA Football, youth footballs governing body. Sharp decreases in youth football participation, mostly due to parents safety concerns, have spurred the organization to explore ways to make the sport safer.?Representatives of the NFL and USA Football told the newspaper that they were unaware that the final study did not support Heads Up Footballs claims. They said that they had used preliminary information from the study and would update their information.??Camiseta Marcelo .

Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta.LOS ANGELES -- The nations second-largest city has waited nearly 22 years for Sunday.When the Rams take the field in a sold-out Coliseum for their first regular-season home game of the season, the NFL will truly, officially return to Los Angeles.A football-loving town had both of its teams simultaneously taken away by two owners with wanderlust after the 1994 season. But Stan Kroenke has brought the game back to a sprawling town that seems eager to unite behind the Rams.We all know its going to be a great moment to run down that tunnel, said Rams defensive back T.J. McDonald, who went to college in LA. Its going to be history.And after all of that cathartic excitement and a pregame concert by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Rams (0-1) need to make sure they dont get trampled by the Seattle Seahawks.Los Angeles new team didnt get a soft touch for its homecoming game. The Seahawks (1-0) have been among the NFLs best for a half-decade, and the Rams favorable recent record in the NFC West rivalry hasnt exactly inspired overconfidence.Its going to take our best shot, said Rams coach Jeff Fisher, a Los Angeles native.The Rams have won three of their last four against Seattle, sweeping the two-game series last season. Yet their dismal performance Monday at San Francisco in a 28-0 loss is a bit foreboding, while the Seahawks 12-10 win over Miami suggested their daunting defense is already in midseason form -- bad news for a Los Angeles offense that looked largely inept in its opener.Here are some other things to watch on LAs big day:RE-PETE: The Rams arent the only people making a triumphant return to the Coliseum.Seahawks coach Pete Carroll created a college football dynasty in the venerable arena, winning two national titles at USC in a nine-year run that included a 35-game home winning streak. Carroll left USC for the Seahawks in January 2010, and he still disagrees with the NCAAs decision to hammer the Trojans a few months later with sanctions surrounding Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush.I was already gone by the time all of that stuff came out, and I felt bad about that, Carroll said. Had I known what was going on, and what was going to come around, I never would have been able to leave, and I just wouldnt have.SHERMAN RETURNS: Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is the first visiting NFL star to get the chance to play in his hometown against the Rams. He believes the NFLs return and the Rams service work will be a boon for his native Compton and other communities.When you have role models like that, whenn you have people giving back, whether its their time or financially, it makes a huge difference, Sherman said.dddddddddddd. You give kids something else to aspire to. You give kids some more goals to aspire to attain.BACK IN BLUE: On Thursday, the Rams thrilled many Los Angeles fans when they announced theyll wear their throwback uniforms in the game.The Rams wore the still-familiar blue-and-gold gear from 1973-99 before switching to the St. Louis-era uniforms that are still their official look. Nearly everyone expects the Rams to return to their LA-era colors when they move into their new billion-dollar stadium in Inglewood in 2019.The Rams even made the announcement about Sundays throwbacks in true Hollywood fashion -- on Ryan Seacrests radio show.NO TIME TO SIT: Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson started the week with questions about whether hed be able to play. By Wednesday, he was a full participant in practice.So much for Los Angeles getting a break.Wilson was listed on the injury report for the first time in his career this week with the sprained right ankle after Ndamukong Suh stepped on him in the opener. Expect his mobility to be somewhat limited, which could be significant considering the amount of pressure the Rams have been able to put on Wilson in previous meetings.I think really great performers find a way, Carroll said. You dont have to be 100 percent all the time to operate at a really high level.HOLD THE LINE: The Seahawks have not done well standing up to the Rams vaunted defensive line, which could be Los Angeles only significant advantage against Seattle.The Rams sacked Wilson 16 times in the previous four meetings, winning three of those. Aaron Donald, Robert Quinn, Michael Brockers -- who got a contract extension this week -- and the rest have made life miserable for the Seahawks.Seattle believes its offensive line will be better than in the opener, when JMarcus Webb had to be inserted at guard just days before facing Miami after rookie Germain Ifedi went down with an ankle injury.These guys are maybe a little more active, but big powerful people, Seattle offensive line coach Tom Cable said. This whole month is kind of this way with all those teams were playing. Its a really good opportunity to learn and grow a whole bunch.---AP Sports Writer Tim Booth in Seattle contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
