Movie Summary: The Dangers Of High School Football

This movie made me feel very thrown off with my overall perspective of football and how it is played and it's dangers. I felt very scared for the players and mad at the coaches/ other leaders for not taking better care of their players. The way this game can affect someone's life is horrible. People think this game is just simple fun and good times but behind the scenes many people get serious problems from playing it and it also can affect other people's lives like their families. But, on the other hand the players knew that this game is not safe and that they could get hurt. I was very disappointed while watching this because I never thought about the long term injuries some football players can have because of playing this sport. I was also disappointed that no one really cares enough about the lives of the players enough to speak up about it. Instead everyone just watches people get hit and knocked over and they don't care about that but they do care when someone scores a touchdown.

I do not think I would support the nfl after seeing this movie. Even though it is a great sport it is beyond dangerous and unsafe for
people to be playing without the proper protection. The rules should be changed and when someone is injured they should not be allowed back on the field after being seriously hit. Part of the reason i would not support the nfl is because they really don't care about the wellbeing of their players, they just care about winning and getting money. Most injuries are neurological and that is very unsafe and i do not support that or the idea of people getting their heads smashed into the ground. If the nfl took better care of their players and put effort into making sure they had regular checkups for football related injuries then I would maybe support the nfl, but since they don't i do not support it.

I do not think you would see the same effect in high school football because it is not yet that violent.
You could probably see the same effect but the chances are very low. The injuries probably start to form in high school and become more dangerous in the nfl because more hitting occurs and the men are stronger and have more weight/ muscle to them in the nfl. High school football is more safe and even though they do tackle, it is not as hard as a hit from an nfl player.

Overall the nfl is dangerous and I do not feel like it is a very unsafe business. I do not support the nfl and their decisions and I do think big changes need to be made to the game and the safety precautions. I also do not think high school football has the same effects but I do think they can still be hurt if the refs and coaches do not pay enough attention to the
injury.
