Argumentative Essay About Football

Football is a sport known for the excitement it brings to the audience and to the players. This sport is being played around the country professionally, and throughout colleges and high schools. With all the tackling, screaming, touchdowns, and energy football produces, people either love the sport or find it to be too dangerous. Many people who believe football to be a dangerous sport especially fears the danger it puts high school students in. The concern of young lives being at stake just to be a part of a sport makes numerous people question football in high schools. What those people don’t realize though, is that football in high schools is an amazing opportunity for young men (and in some cases young women) to prepare for life and the trials it comes with. Playing football in high school will teach young men to learn to have a great work ethic, make quick decisions to better not only themselves but the others around them, and give them a chance to get athletic scholarships for colleges.

For decades, American Football has captivated this nation as one of the prime sources of entertainment.

In some cases, it is worth the pain to keep pushing yourself, to face obstacles head on fearless, and knowing that your hard work will pay off and make you a stronger and the better athlete that you can be. In other situations, it is almost silly if you don’t quit. There are some definite times when you know you must leave your sport. Last school year I decide I was going to quit playing tackle football not because the change in coaching but because my heart was no longer in it, the injuries that come with the sport, and I wanted to focus on another sport.

The football program is to dangerous and should be eliminated because it is way to dangerous to keep. 100,000 concussions occur every year from football that's more than how many shark attacks occur each year, most of the concussions result in death so basically 100,000 teen's/kid's die just from playing football.

For many kids and their families playing football is a way to build a future for these kids, it can help them earn a scholarship and go to college one day, or even make it far enough to where they’re actually getting paid to play for it. In a lot of poor communities getting kids into football and trying to help them make it out a bad neighborhood someday is a high risk high reward type deal that many are willing to take since there’s really not that many other options whereas in more affluent communities where kids grow up with better education systems and a wider variety of possible career opportunities, if they understand the long term outcomes and the possible affects that youth football poses then they will look in other directions to get their kids involved in because they know they have a more flexible future.

If youth football was outlawed and kids were forced to get involved in other activities and sports less kids would be getting injuries and

I even wish I could be as great as them and make it as big as them. When watching younger kids play a sport, in some kids I can see the passion they have for it, and even sometimes see the potential in them to make it far.

If it wasn’t for the game of football I wouldn’t be the goofy, warm-hearted, and selfless guy I am today. My football career started when I was a freshman in high school, turning sixteen years old.

The transformation from that pudgy and rather angry child started the first day I laced up my cleats for my high school football team. Football as an individual has taught me sacrifice, teamwork, and leadership.
