Most students at some point in school will be forced to play sports during classes such as P.E. Often the athletic students get chosen first, while the less athletic experience a form of discrimination. American Football is ah except of sports. Regardless of height, weight, abilities. There is a position for every child in American Football. Introducing the sport to Schools and Colleges throughout the UK would be brilliant for all students, teachers and parents.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because having a sports team would be a decision for individual schools and not the UK Government or Parliament. The National Curriculum does not require schools to teach specific sports. It leaves it up to schools.
You could start a new petition asking the Government to fund a campaign raising awareness of American Football in schools if that is something you would like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
