John Kass and Kevin Grier and Tyler Cowen are influential people that have the same opinion that football will end in the future. While they share many of the same key concepts but they have different attitudes of how the sport will end.

In soccer there are many rules that have changed. Back in the 1700's the playing field was shaped like a square. There were only four major markings on the field. They were the touchlines, goal lines, halfway line, and the eighteen-yard lines. When the Football Association (FA) was created in 1863, the first uniform rules were made. FIFA now requires that soccer be played on a rectangular field between one hundred and one hundred-thirty yards long and between fifty and one hundred yards wide. For international matches the field should be between one hundred- ten and one hundred-twenty yards long and between seventy and eighty yards wide. There are two goals, one placed at each end of the field. They are eight feet tall, eight yards across, and six feet deep. The lines that mark the sides of the field are called touchlines; those that mark the two ends of the field are called goal lines. Also there are five other distinctive lines. They are the halfway lines, the goal areas, the penalty areas, the corner marks, and the center circle.

As the popularity of soccer increases, controversy in relation to safety concerns continues to rise as well. Due to the ineffectiveness of protective headgear among soccer players, athletes should focus on alternatives to successfully prevent injuries. Concerned parents, coaches, and athletes should heightening rules and regulations and should properly evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of the soccer gear (i.e., balls, gloves, etc.) being used in order to reduce chances of serious

The National Football League (NFL) has diverged over time during its existence from 1920. The National Football League 's experience is still more exciting today than in past generations. The actors today are larger, more degraded, and stronger than professional actors. Although the same general rules still apply in today’s game, but new ones are brought up every year to protect players from injuries.

In addition to the field itself, all that is needed for a game is two goals (eight feet high and eight yards apart) and a ball. Each player wears hard plastic or padded shingaurd, covered by long socks, for protection during play. Cleats are also worn for traction on the field. A goalie may also wear a special padded shirt, and gloves to protect his or her hands. A standard field, as regulated by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (or FIFA), has a length between 100 and 130 yards, and a width of between 50 and 100 yards.

As the AFL adapts to the constant introduction of new and improved technology, SmartBall presents the idea of inserting a microchip or miniature e-tag inside footballs, which allows coaches and fitness staff to monitor the ball movement of players in game situations.

In this year the forward pass, finally, became an accepted idea in football, but it was difficult to do with skill because of the ball’s shape. This is where the football that is known today began to get its shape. The new ball was still heavy, weighing a pound, but the ball’s new shape allowed for a better grip and higher accuracy throws (How the Football Has Changed Since 1869, 2016). “The unique shape of the ball was somewhat formalized in the early 20th century and that form was exploited to great success when the forward pass was introduced to football in 1906” (Stamp, 2012). This ball was a complete success and paved the way for later footballs to

In order to truly appreciate the overall beneficial influence football has had on American culture between the 1890’s and 1930’s, we cannot turn a blind eye to the negative obstacles football has overcome. In the early years of development, football was played similarly to rugby and universities played by different rules, making standardization within the sport a difficult task to accomplish. One of the major problems observed during the infancy of football was the sheer violence witnessed on the field. Mass play was the common play style during the first years of football in which the entire offensive force would focus on one spot of the defense; the offense was determined to go through the defense rather than go around them. The raw power behind these plays lead to serious injuries as well as the death of a player in the early 1900’s. This disastrous event deterred numerous universities from playing football out of fear of a repeat of events. Following more serious injuries

The physical injuries contribute to the leading cause of why football equipment needs an upgrade. As stated before, the profit of the sport should allow a

As the crowd screams and chants loudly for their local Brooks County Trojans, I knew I had to make my city proud. I dashed past three defenders, now with a open field that separates the goalkeeper and I. As I arrived inside the twenty yard box the crowds chattered lowered to a minimal whisper. I sized up the goalkeeper then placed a perfect well curve right past the goalkeeper into the upper right corner of the

The English Football Association are finally beginning experiments with video referees in this season FA cup. Referees will have a tablet available for them to view Instant replays of the game, similar to the TMO for tries in Rugby. Currently, there are too many what ifs in Football, from amateur level to the international stage, it is unprofessional and not the right move to keep VA from the sport.
