In Mark Edmundsons article “do sports build character or damage it?” Edmundson makes a very good case that supports his idea that sports can build character. He also gives good reasons as to why some people think that sports just breed brutality, and are a diversion from the business of education.

Football, like every sport has its risks, but so the players should be able to make their own decisions when it comes to whether or not they play.

Parents protect their children from drugs and dangerous situations for eighteen yeas only to realize that they should have protected them from their own good judgement. It has been known for over two decades that continuous blows to the head during physical performance in sports, places athletes at a high risk of permanent brain damage. These sports also pose a threat to adolescent children due to the connection between brain damage and conditions such as depression, suicidal thoughts, and memory loss. “Don’t let kids play football” is rhetorically persuasive because of the speakers’ background relating to the human brain, suggesting that the audience is responsible for the harm caused to children when playing dangerous sports, and effectively emphasizing the idea of protecting all children from harm.…

Overconformity is a serious issue and with the coach telling my son and his teammates to take risks, play while being in pain, and putting your body through this pressure is putting the team through danger. I understand that the coach is trying to get the boys to be better and become successful in football since athletes are expected to play through pain and is one of the reasons why coaches pick certain players. With the coach setting all these requirements towards the children will put the children to think that it is normal to play with injuries, not being exposed to anything but football, could do serious damage to their bodies especially when the children are still young, etc. Not recovering 100% could lead my child to double his chances on not being able to play and not giving his best. The teammates and my son would be expected or possibly think about using painkilling drugs to get out in the games more quickly. I wouldn't want my young son to start depending on drugs at an early age and that could possibly end up using other drugs early into his life. Children will get scared to not tell their coaches or anyone that their seriously hurt and then the injury will eventually get worse and worse. My advice to my son would be to listen to your body, do the best you can, have fun, and improve your skills on the field. I would tell the coach to give the children a break, their only kids playing a youth sport. I agree with Taylor's comment about how the coach's style will transfer into the children's everyday lives. The violence on the field could eventually go off the field as well and can influence the kids that there isn't more than just football. The coach doesn't show that he cares about safety at all and that should be the first priority. Health comes first. Once your recovered from an injury than you can go back on the field and improve. I would tell my son to balance his life with sports/ school/ work/ friends, show that you care and be at all the…

Down, set, hike! Your kid has adrenaline running through their veins looking for the ball carrier, looking to make a tackle he then runs up breaks down and makes the tackle. Most would say that’s why kids love sports, but now due to Peoria Unified School District’s contemplation to take sports out of schools. In fact, parents should let their kids play competitive sports because it gives them adrenaline, demonstrates teamwork, and takes stress away.…
I loved watching football to the point that it was almost an unhealthy obsession. I would watch all the games on Sundays with my Dad, I could name all of the players and their positions on my favorite team the New York Jets and could name every team in the NFL just by looking at the team’s helmets. That being said, if I could play football I 100% would have in a heartbeat. One day, my aunt called my Mom saying that my older cousin’s football team needed new pee-wee cheerleaders for their team and had thought of me. Luckily enough my parents actually let me have a choice in the activities I participated in instead of forcing me into anything I didn’t want to do. When my Mom asked if I wanted to cheer for my cousin’s football team, I said no and that I rather play football. The answer I got was: “No, little girls don’t play…
