Let Your Son Play Football

I think that kids shouldn't play football because it is too dangerous. People get concussions every day when they play football. After repeatedly bashing their skulls football players get concussions, caused by the spongy tissue in the brain hitting the hard skull. It is very painful to get a concussion, and leaves permanent damage to the brain. As well as being excruciatingly painful, and possibly never being the same, with many issues. "In milder cases, athletes can be left with lifelong pain, memory lapses, aggression, depression, personality changes, and many other issues."(Shotz[11]). This sport just keeps getting more and more dangerous, manifesting on itself, becoming more and more brutal as players become more competitive. There are

School football is at the edge of being banned. I think you should not ban football because it helps kids all around America.First, you should not ban football it good for socialization. School football keeps kids fit and out of trouble during the school year. That’s why you should not ban football.

Even though football is not the safest sport, that does not mean it is too dangerous to ever play again. The game of football is an intense sport { even if you're a kicker ] but I do not think it should be banned . Banning football is like Prohibition , you will upset a lot of people and some will go crazy . There are plenty of sports that don't get banned like baseball . In baseball you could get hit with a pitch , get a bat flung at you , and get in a bench clearing brawl but no one makes a case about that . Football is a game I love to watch and play . People that do think football should be banned make good case about like long term illness such as CTE or ALS and could physically disable you . The reason you shouldn't ban football is that the game can teach young men { or women } life skills such as teamwork or trust and I believe every young man should play some form of football whether it's touch football , tackle football , or just throwing a ball around with your friends . Though some people can't play football because there parents won't let them or have a health issue but in my opinion everybody should be open to playing or watching football . Plenty of people hate football because it's too stressful but playing and watching football has taught me one thing about stress : Your stressed watching a game and you're not stressed playing in one .

Did you know 66% of boys between the ages of 5-18 years old play an organized sport? Over 550,000 boys participate in basketball for a school sponsored team in the U.S, ranked in the top 5 most played sports in the U.S. by youth is baseball/ teeball and last but not least football is played among young boys with more than 1 million interscholastic participants. If I were asked if I were to allow my son to play football I will say yes, because it promotes teamwork, keeps children busy (out of trouble) and it is a safe sport.

Have you or your child ever played football at a young age and got injured? Should kids be allowed to play football at a young age? Kids who play at young age usually get hurt. The reason for that is because they're not taught well from the couches on how to tackle.

On the other hand, others believe that children should be allowed to participate in contact sports during their high school career if they please to do so. One reason is that people claim that sports equipment is developing to become safer. Experts agree that, "Equipment innovations in energy dispersing pads, telemedicine and technology to reduce brain cavitation inside the skull- known as "brain slosh"- will enhance the safety for young athletes." However, the game is also evolving. It is just a matter of fact of which evolves faster, but ask yourself if you can take that chance. The younger generation is said to be our future. People claim that football builds character

Football is part of American pastime but should we stop letting kids play? Concussions and other injuries from contact sports can still happen in basketball and baseball. So if we take away contact sports then we’d have to take away other sports also.

The game of football is being attacked. We see it every day in the headlines and on the news. The medical concerns are obvious. The game has taken more than its share of criticism. Even President Barack Obama said that if he had boys he wouldn’t let them play football. LeBron James publicly said no football in his house. So the question is asked all the time, Why would anyone want to play football? And why would anyone let their kids play? Here’s my answer. I believe there’s practically no other place where a boy is held to a higher standard then football. Football is hard, it’s tough, it demands discipline, it teaches obedience, it builds character. Football is a metaphor for life.

Making your kid play all year round football might be good for your kid because it gives them a chance to get fit. By practicing

After reading Scott Fujita's article “Would I Let My Son Play Football”, I would allow my child to play football. Fujita asks in his article “How can I bash a game that produced so many friendships, paid for part of my education and helped me become comfortable financially?” (Fujita 3) Basically, Fujita is stating that football helped him become a team member and it helped him have good financial support for himself and his family. I want my son or daughter to become a team player and gain more friendships, if they ever decide to join football, And I want them to have a good amount of money to be able to support themselves. But in the article he states “...

The first reason why I would let my child play football is because it promotes health. Football is a physically demanding sport where you need strength, agility, endurance, and hand-eye coordination. In an article by Steve Silverman titles “What Are the Health Benefits of Being a

Dating back to 1892, a new threshold in American sports history was achieved. The Allegheny Athletic Association had defeated the Pittsburgh Athletic Club. More importantly, William Heffelfinger was paid $500 to participate on the AAA team, thus birthing Professional Football. As the years passed, American Football has seen an exponential progression, including the introduction of children’s football associations. While there is a numerous group of parents who have no problem with their child being involved in football, recent revelations would begin to grow concern in some. It is because of this we must ask, should parents disallow their children from participating in football, or should they focus on the more positive benefits that the organized sport could have?

Yes, I never would hold my child back from something they love and what I once loved too. In Scott Fujita’s article “Would I Let My Son Play Football?”, Scott Fujita first talks about how he would beg his parents to his parents about playing football, but they would always tell him no until according to his parents, he was “In tears, head down, mumbling about how I’d never get to play football”(Scott Fujita 1). I agree with his parents I couldn't tell my son no when he is crying to play his favorite sport too. Although it is a high contact sport I’ll let my child chase their dream. In Fujita’s article “Would I Let My Son Play Football?”

When you hear the word football what do you think of ? Some people think that it dangerous because you can get injured. But I think that it is safe because they are making safer ways to play football. It is also safe because they are making safer equipment to play in. They also get trained to tackle so that they don’t hurt the other players on purpose.

You are worried about your child going to get injured in his first game of football. Little did you know, there's nothing you should be really worried about. In fact, sports to young children or teens might seem dangerous. But on the other hand, it is just a fun sport for young children and teens to play. Sports also makes kids and teens active in a fun way and sports makes kid entertain themselves. Although sports seems dangerous, teens and young children should be allowed to play sports because sports makes them healthy, higher scores in school, and makes kids less depressed (sad).
