New York youth soccer club bans high fives and handshakes amid growing flu scare

As reported by the New York Post and a variety of other sources, a Manhattan-based youth soccer club has acted to discourage its elementary school athletes from giving each other high fives or even walking through the traditional postgame handshake line. The reason? Officials are worried that contact from high fives and handshakes could spread flu germs.

not sure how this makes sense. soccer isn't a non contact sport and you're out there running around for hours, if someone has the flu, i don't think banning high fives and hand shakes will work. seems a bit too much of the nanny state.
