America’s Tradition Is Waving Goodbye
Football Is so risky that star football players won't let their kids play. So why should you?
Football can lead to many major injuries. “Football is America's most popular sport.”But people are starting to question this American tradition. Well I believe that you shouldn't let your kids play football, for many reasons.
“Because of concussions many consider the sport to risky.” 9.5% of football players have quit the sport from 2010 to 2012 because of the consequences that it brings. “Football players of all ages have suffered from brain damage from repeated concussions--even when they've given their brains time to heal (which can take months).”“Do the rewards outweigh the risks?” Of course they don’t at least thats what I think. There are also other ways to afford college. Since quitting football, he has thrived. Runs track and went to state; he plans to run in college.
Don’t just play football because its your favorite sport, or because it will help you with college. And remember football is so risky that star football players won't let their kids play. So why should you?
