Every sport has a risk of you getting injured‚ but football is by far the most dangerous. It is too dangerous to let children play? Honestly yes it is.

I think that children should only be allowed to play flag football‚ as kids still get the exercise but don’t have to knock the living crap out of each other. Another reason why

The team hasn’t won a playoff game in 10 years‚ and this origination traded up for Robert Griffin III and essentially ruined his career when they rushed him back from a knee injury and he hasn’t been the same since. One would think that with all of this being sad the team wouldn’t have a lot said about them‚ I mean‚ what’s the point the team is mediocre and they fall apart every year

I stand on the sidelines of the football field pretending to listen to Coach Lewis give our team a lecture. We had lost our last two games due to “me not playing” as my brother Donovan claims. My mind floats to the thought of my father telling Coach to have me not participate in the next few games. My relationship with my father has never been the same since mom died. Sometimes I think he blames me for her death. Football is the only thing that comforts me ever since that tragic accident. “Did

the offensive line and the quarterback quickly throws the ball away‚ but not before he is slung to the ground. As the quarterback lands on the ground‚ his head cracks back and hits the turf with tremendous force; and despite wearing a protective football helmet‚ the quarterback suffers a severe concussion.
