If you thought Wisconsin's new law requiring child seats for children under 8 was bad... just wait til you read what Massachusetts wants to do. They want to require children to wear helmet's when playing Soccer. This isn't the first time they've tried either. Last year they tried to ban headers in youth soccer.
And who's pushing for all of this? Why none other than a company that makes those helmets. No better way to gain a foothold in the market I say than making it illegal to not use your product. You can find out more about this proposed law, which will likely be heading to our fair state soon here. Thanks to The Agitator for pointing it out.
