Football : The Effects Of Football Intolerance In Football

High school sports are an important aspect of a young person’s life because it could decide their college, careers, and determine their social circle. High school football is a time where a fellowship occurs, not only with students, but the community also. There is on going issues with contact sports such as should there be rule changes or eliminate the game completely because of head injuries occurring too often. The problem is deciding whether the risks of playing these sports are worth it in the end. Are the risks of football worth the entertainment or should should football be banned for safety reasons? Doctor Anne McKey stated that if anything, we should have rule changes and equipment changes because it’s not worth the risk (CNN, 2012).

Abstract: High school football in the state of Texas has become out of control. The sport is no longer played for the sake of the school but rather has become a Friday night ritual to these small towns in Texas. The players are no longer just high school kids inter acting in school sports but have now become heroes to these small town communities. Communities simply no longer support their local high school team but rally in pride of their hometown rivalry against another team. School administrators and coaches no longer are teachers and mentors for the kids but are the equivalent to what in professional football are team owners and "real coaches". Parents have become agents and sacrifice their jobs and homes so that their child

The spectator of this sport has an obligation to the players of the sport, to make sure that the organization is protecting and looking out for them. Yet not only should the viewer be held accountable for the lack of communication in consequences between the player and the pro scene, but the organization of the NFL needs to make sure that their players have a full understanding of what is going on and how they need to protect the players. The current situation that is understood, contents contain implied knowledge that all parties of this table are in uniform knowledge and agreement to what comes of playing football. Finally, this should also happen at the youth level when kids are just getting into the sport, as it would better inform the parents and the kid if they understood the full

There are double standards with the treatment of high school football players by fans, coaches, teachers, parents and school administrators, as they tend to look away if it is a

Football is an American sport that consists of two teams composed of 11 men. On the 100-yard field, they go head to head, trying to keep the other team from advancing the ball down the field toward the end zone, resulting in a touchdown or field goal. Football pits the two teams against each other. The offense, which possesses the ball, is placed against the defense, which tries to prevent the offense from advancing the ball. Several different resources can contribute to a team’s success. Some of those resources are funds, talent level of players, and favorable position on the field, which makes it easier to score points. The four sociological perspectives, structural functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism, and social exchange theory, all credit different reasons for one team being able to achieve this goal more often than another team. Nevertheless, any of the sociological perspectives you view the sport from, football is a very complex entity. Football is more than just a group of men pounding one another. There is a complex equation that eventually equals success; the differences between these perspectives are the components of the equation that are most heavily weighed on for success. Although it may be a combination of all three perspectives that leads to success in football, it is fair to look at the game from each perspective individually because each holds important insight into what truly leads to a successful football team.

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.

Imagine a world without hazing. I believe organization could be creative and find new exciting ways to make students work to get into the club. Academically, community service, a drawing, or donates to the organization. A world without hazing would reduce lives, value morals, no stress, no humiliation, and no unwanted done to the human body. “Statistics show 1.5 million high school students are hazed each year; 47% of students came to college already having experienced hazing, 40% of athletes who reported being involved in hazing behaviors report that a coach or advisor was aware of the activity; 22% report that the coach was involved, Nine out of ten students who have experienced hazing behavior in college do not consider themselves to have been hazed, and 36% of students say they would not report hazing primarily because "there's no one to tell," and 27% feel that adults won't handle it right. Hazing should be banned because of what the pledges have to endure. Hazing is indeed a serious issue, particularly in the schools and colleges, and will have serious repercussions. Even survivors of hazing are not safe from it; the scars, psychological or physical, will not fade completely. We as a nation have to come together and banned hazing from our

High school football over the years has become a huge spectacle lets just talk about the DWF area or we can even get smaller to make a point if you made a 25 mile radius these local high school teams play at the Star (seats 12,000), Allen stadium (seats 18,000 cost 60 million), and McKinney’s new stadium (seats 12,000 costs 69.9 million). This is just high school football these young kids playing under tremendous pressure from the start. The pressure to play high school football is immense, there are so many media outlets for these kids, and they get coverage from what it seems like all the time during the season, yet this is all just considered a recreational activity I think it has become more than that now. The pressure for coaches is high as well dealing with parents, board members, keeping up with classes as a teacher, and oh you also have to win since football is a performance-based business (forewarning this will be said a lot). For example I will refer to Boobie Miles from Friday Night Lights for one final point. Boobie knew if he did not make it in football there was nothing special for him. That is why when he got hurt he still wanted to play, because he knew that’s all he had. That is a lot of pressure for a 16-18 year to handle, and if they are not up for it they crack.

One reason I would not let my son play football is because it promotes violence. “I hate to say it, but no “heads up” campaign or the threat of a penalty or a fine will reduce football’s inherent violence” (Fujita 3) Some people go into football not knowing the violence and pain that come with it. Professional football players were unaware of the dangers that concussions can cause, while the NFL knows about the consequences that can happen when a player get concussed. “In August , ESPN pulled its name and logo from the “League of Denial,” a “Frontline” documentary about how the N.F.L., handled -or, more appropriately mishandled - the concussion crisis among its players.” (Sandomir 1) Violence is praised through the stands when someone gets pushed to the floor and seriously hurt. Football players are unaware of the dangers that come with getting a concussion, but the NFL knows all and lets them get into this danger for the sake of entertainment. The NFL hides the truth and mishandled cases of players, because they know the consequences and don’t want to be charged for it, leaving the players clueless for what could happen next.

However with all of these facts being told about how high school football should be banned most people might think banning football is a bad thing when really banning football is to just save peoples lives.We have just showed you some of the deaths remember I said “some”meaning that their is still more deaths that have happened but it would be to much deaths to cover and talking about deaths really isn’t all that exciting.Football should be banned for all the hurt high schoolers or even the dead high schooler,and they never deserved this even if they wanted to join football the high schoolers didn’t know that this could happen to them.All these deaths weren’t all just the high schoolers family it was also doctors,news reporters, and even teachers,”These deaths weren’t….Intentional...It was simply a sport wanting to be play by these passionate kids, but their dream turned into a nightmare.These special kids just wanted to have fun...If these kids knew that football could be like this than they would’ve never joined football but that's not the case here.”However football won’t really end since it is such a popular sport to lots of other high schoolers.Football should come to a end soon due to it's deaths i'm not talking about the NFL i'm talking about the high school football.One point to another more people are gonna start feeling the pain that other parents or relatives that have felt the pain due to football,but if it's not a family member or relative than you would still feel

Football players are the heroes of the screens during the Super Bowl season. The rah-rah spirit is the sound that Americans express as an encouragement to their favorite football teams. Their enthusiastic supports motivate football players to play harder, but also sacrifice their bodies to win and make their fans happy. After the game is over, the light of the stadium turns off and the fans go to celebrate the triumph. While these football lovers continue celebrating, the football players hide their pain to be caused by violent beatings in their head. As a result, their life and health are in risk because it leads to severe probabilities of brain damage such as concussion.

Football is a rough sport. Many fans of the game watch it for the hard hits. These hard hits and the potential for injury is part of what makes the game so exciting. Some people say that football is too brutal and should be banned. Parents all over the United States don’t allow their children to play because of the risk of head injuries. Others allow their sons, and every now and then their daughters, to play and risk injury for a chance to earn a college scholarship and for a small percentage of players, the chance to play in the National Football League (NFL).

Personal conduct in the NFL, National Football League, is an issue that is starting to spiral out of control. Late September, 2014, “the league [had] suspended at least 20 players for actions including assault, substance abuse and use of performance-enhancing drugs” (White); this was only a few weeks into the regular season of play for the league. The NFL has grown enormously since it was founded on August 20, 1920 in Canton, Ohio. But, this league has become more and more lenient with its players and personnel. Many professional athletes in the NFL receive special treatment regardless of their improper actions, thus allowing them to elude the consequences and in turn setting a misleading example for their young fans. In order

Since the introduction of organized team sports into American culture, numerous sports have stepped into the limelight for certain periods of time but none have stuck around as long as football has. Just as with everything else in life, football has had it’s fair share of drawbacks since its invention in the mid-19th century. Despite the drawbacks and criticism football has faced, its role and influence on American culture between the 1890’s and 1930’s far outweigh the negative aspects of its past.

Having gone through both elementary and middle school, we have all run into peers who spent a lot of time and energy trying to act like the most popular athlete in any given time period. Kids often try to imitate controversial athletes to bring attention to themselves. Such behavior can bring popularity to a young person. A sad outcome of violence in adult sports is that youth sports end up mirroring adult sports. Young people are encouraged to be aggressive, and often those who are the stars of the team are those who know how to "stretch the rules". Often, young people who do play by the rules are relegated to the bench. As a result, youth athletic teams, even
