Would you support establishing a federal agency specifically for regulating youth sports?
I know this is a bit of a random topic, but I've been reading recently about how our youth sports are not in the best place recently (Specifically Linda Flanagan's book, "Take Back the Game" among other resources). The problems in Youth sports are quite numerous which include lack of regulation of safety standards (specifically physical, sexual, mental, etc.), rising costs of playing sports, and over-commercialization of sports. There have been proposals to establish a new federal agency to help set standards for coaches (and referees), conduct research, establish funding channels to lower income families to allow for more access to sports, and other similar functions.
So I ask, what are your thoughts on the idea of establishing an agency for regulating youth sports as well as the problems in youth sports in general.
