    his college football season, multiple players have been called out for targeting. The fact that not all of the officials calls have been correct is one of the main issues. According to the AFCA, (American Football Coaches Association) rule 9-1-3 states, “ No player shall target and initiate contact against an opponent with the crown (top) of his helmet.

Most recently players have become much faster and bigger than in the past and the safety of their lives have become a risk.

Although for some reason, Americans want to turn their heads away from a star athlete being accused for this horrible crime. My reasons for agreeing to remove a player are: football is glorified in America, assault is a horrible crime, and American’s morals are going out the window.…

    Last Friday night at our football game, the p.a. announcer said, “Would everyone this time please stand, not kneel, for the playing of the national anthem.” When I heard this at first I chuckled, but after I realized that this subject has a huge impact on the NFL and small towns like ours. The act of kneeling during the national anthem is showing awareness of injustice and police brutality. This movement started in the preseason of the NFL by a black player, Colin Kaepernick. In under a month, many other football players have taken the side of Kaepernick. Do you think it’s fair that police can use force to protect and serve us Americans? Police officers strive to protect people in America, however, in some places police officers abuse their…

    Nothing is certain but death, so why not pursue what brings joy and purpose to your life? American football is deeply rooted in American culture, and the public’s opinion varies. Some view football as a sport that promotes violence and knowingly damages its players, while others claim it instills valuable life values and unites the American people. I would most definitely allow my son to play football because it instills and promotes physical health, toughness, and work ethic at an early age. Even though football is known to cause neurological damage to its players, it’s not the sports fault, the fault lies in the NFL for purposely knowing the dangers of playing football and not taking action to protect its players.…
