	popwarner.com - Football Safety Information
		As involvement in football, both organized and recreational, continues to grow, knowing the benefits and safety issues that surround the sport of football is very important.
		Evidence of the direct results of football's strict guidelines is displayed in an analysis of athletic injuries conducted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which revealed that 5-15 year olds playing organized football had 12 percent fewer injuries per capita than 5-15 year olds playing soccer.
		As the sport of football continues to grow, the goal is not to be satisfied that youth football is no riskier than other sports, rather it is to continue to make it safer.

	Safety (football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Safeties are by far the rarest of scores in American football.
		Safeties can also occur on punts if the receiving team blocks the kick, the snap is botched or the punter accidentally steps on the end line.
		In American football, safeties are followed by a free kick — by the team that 'allowed' the safety — from its own 20-yard line.

	Defensive back - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The safety is positioned 10 to 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage, depending on the safety's speed.
		The strong safety (SS) is usually larger than the free safety, and is positioned relatively closer to the line of scrimmage.
		While strong safeties play a pivotal role in halting the offense's running game, they are also responsible for keeping various receivers, especially tight ends, in check.

		A strong safety generally lines up on the side where the tight end is, and the free safety is on the weak side.
		The free safety will generally play deeper than the strong safety, who is generally more posed to stop the run and is lined up on the strong side of the formation.

	Fact Sheet 2: Sir Norman Chester Centre for Football Research: University of Leicester
		To travel to football as an 'away' fan in the 1970s and 1980s was often to experience something of a 'military' exercise in terms of policing, and hostility and sometimes violence from 'home' and away fans.
		All clubs require a safety certificate, which indicates a 'safe capacity', in order to stage matches, and periodic tests must be carried out by clubs to ensure their facilities and emergency services are up to standard.
		The post-Taylor regime at football has effectively moved the safety and management of supporter functions at matches to clubs and their appointed agents and away from the police, whose responsibilty now is to deal with public order problems and crime at football.

	He's a safety linchpin - The Boston Globe
		In an alternate universe, the Patriots and Lawyer Milloy came to an agreement in the offseason on the restructuring of his contract; he's the safety alongside Rodney Harrison, and Wilson and fellow rookie Asante Samuel are reserve cornerbacks.
		The Patriots, without a true free safety, are playing a lot more two-deep zone, and, while they're winning, Milloy isn't exactly thrilled about his statistics suffering again because he's so far away from the action.
		Harrison and cornerbacks Ty Law and Tyrone Poole all enjoyed some of the finest seasons of their careers in part because of a converted corner who is just beginning his.
