<Begin rant>The overemphasis on high school American football competition by schools on limited budgets I feel cheats other potential athletes out of any prospect of discovering and developing their own abilities, simply because they weren't the largest kids in school.<End rant>
Enter the weight
class subdivision system.
Always wanted to play for the high school team but only weigh 130 lbs dripping wet? Sign up for the 125-135 weight class games.
Are you 20-something, have a great arm, but are only 3'8"? Hook up with the professional midget league, and compete with neighboring cities.

I was thinking the same--as well as age classes. E.g. while I'm sure most 60 year-old former pro-football players are either taking it easy playing golf, have gotten fat, or are dead, I'm sure a few are ready willing and able to play pro with other 60 year-olds. |

There's also women's football and I'm sure we could include handicapped. |

This could be used by cities who have hurting regular pro-ball teams. |

A lot of sports already break out competition by weight class. |
|
| |
Maybe height class for basketball too eh? |

Who will be the linemen?????? |
|

They already have leagues seperated by skill, if you are a skinny wuss, play in the "g" or "h" divison where everyone else sucks too |
