Player safety has been an issue for the National Football League since the start of the league, but has taken on a greater importance in recent years. Now, when a player is injured after a play, he must sit out for at least one play to allow the team’s trainer to assess his injury and make sure he is fit to return to play. Many say the NFL is very invested in player safety, and the protocols recently introduced have drastically changed the way athletes are assessed and eventually released to return to the field. These changes were necessary in order to protect players from serious injury and long-term health issues. There are many possible reasons the NFL has increased its emphasis on player safety, including, many people are disturbed by the violence of the game, fewer kids are playing football at the youth and high school levels, league sponsors are worried about bad publicity, and there are lawsuits against the NFL dealing with the long-term effects of brain damage. These reasons make many ponder, “Does the NFL really care about player safety, or are they just saving themselves from bad public relations, and the detrimental economic effects that may result from them?”

An increasingly popular topic in the realm of sports fans has begun to unravel. The National Football League recently has begun to introduce new rules and regulations for their athletes to start abiding by to ensure the continued safety of the player’s health. Although most find this change in the game of professional football as a positive step forward, others see this as a diminishment of the sanctity of NFL football. New rules and regulations that have been introduced into NFL are vital to athletes involved in the sport and help them to play with lowered risks of long term injuries that could possibly affect not only them but also the league in the future as well. The reasons for these

American football is very popular in American culture today. Professional football games bring a lot of people together and are something little kids dream to play when they are older. When it comes to the topic of Professional football, most will agree that it is a violent sport. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of is it worth playing or not. Some are convinced that it is and others feel that the sport is too dangerous. However people feel they usually still watch NFL football in person or on television. Even though the NFL is exciting to watch and America’s favorite past time, it comes with a physical cost to the players.

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. Ever since the league started in 1920, the football equipment for participants has improved even better over the years. Likewise, today’s football culture is even more exciting for participants and fans to enjoy. For the players today, it is more comfortable to drive themselves and their teams from the

A devout fan of the Oakland A’s for nearly 50 years, she purchased tickets for the first time in 2015. She chose to purchase tickets in section 211, in the second deck of the Oakland Coliseum, which were in an exposed section along the first baseline, reasoning that it was less expensive than sections covered by protective netting. However, she claimed she was fearful for her, her husband’s and her daughter’s safety because of the possibility of getting hit by foul balls or shattered bats during the game (Gail Payne v. Office of the Commissioner of Baseball (MLB), 2015).

Football is the biggest sport in America, but even though the NFL makes billions of dollars they lack in some very important areas. is Lack of safety regulations on the field can have lifetime of effects on the players. As …. Said in his essay What Price Football, “Worry less about new rules ‘running’ the game and more about the lives that have been ruined by the game, thanks to the effects of dementia, depression, and suicides related to brain trauma” (...,...). According to …., brain trauma has a long list of unwanted side effects that can affect the quality of a player's life and even could be extreme enough to have a player end his/her life. Brain trauma plagues football in all levels of the game

Over 15 million Americans attend sporting events every year. Many spectators may falsely assume that they are safe at such events, or that the owner/operators of sporting venues are ensuring their safety and will take responsibility if they are injured. Over the years there has been several reports of fans falling or being hit and being severely injured. But who takes the responsibility for this? Just last week, a construction worker fell 50 feet off the roof into a snow gutter while working on the new Vikings stadium. The man died instantly (schwab 1). It may not be entirely the stadiums fault but people are still being harmed so there should be more safety cautions taken. There should be safer stairways. There should be higher and stronger

When using outdoor and indoor facilities, it is important to performed scheduled inspections to insure safety for the student athletes, coaches and spectators. Although every sport have a different safety need as it pertains to facilities. That’s why it is important for facilities to have an inspection before the spectators are allowed in the venue. Coaches must also be aware of the athletics health when it pertains to heat exhaustion. Coaches also have a duty to protect the students from injury with the proper equipment. If there is a sport that has a greater risk of injury the then there should be a higher need for equipment protection. When it pertains to football each player must have shoulder pads, helmet, mouth piece, thigh pads and knee pads.

Often regarded as one of the worst sporting disasters ever in the UK, and one of the worst in European football. This disaster involved 96 Liverpool and Nottingham Forest fans being crushed (to death) at the Hillsborough Stadium during the 1988-89 FA Cup semi-final. .

Ted Turner once called sports "war without the killing," and, as Fagan sees it, football is rather like “gladiatorial combat without the killing.” These high major sporting events creates intense emotions among fans of opposing sides. It is usual for fans to get kicked out of the stadiums for their actions or kicked out for fighting other

In the heart of Bronco Country lies the green, football field surrounded by die-hard fans. These fans aren’t the typical fans you find at charity events or summer youth games; they bleed purple and gold. They’ll sit out past 9pm at freezing temperatures near 32 degrees just to watch the football game every Friday night. The field lies covered with young athletes, athletes who play with heart, dedication, and courage. Displayed with high, bright lights the field is the only thing you can see from the distance. And breathing underneath those apparent lights lives the riot squad, or as we say the life of the “party.” These rioters are the heartbeat of this stadium, dressed purple and gold from head to toe. They scream and shout, jump around,

The Hillsborough tragedy of 1989 was a disaster that took over the UK like a storm. Where at a Liverpool FC football match, there was a surge of fans entering the stadium this caused overcrowding and 96 lives were lost due to being crushed against a fence, which separated the pitch and the fans. Because of this tragedy there were huge debates about whether standing was to be allowed at football matches any longer, people that debated the subject ranged from the general public to MPs. After the disaster, there was a law brought into place to ban standing at football. However, this law has changed throughout the years and is now very close to being taken away completely. Each team have a wide variety of fans, including young children to grandma

Since the very first introduction of the NRL fans have hated and disliked the piece of match technology. Fans have believed from the start the bunker which cost $1.2 million dollars, that it has been a waste of time, money and effort. The expensive system has not gotten rid of howlers and human error still exists after all. Instead, it has helped to give us a better understanding of why and how a howler

Violent hooligans have been damaging the image of the football day to day. First of all, the hooligans affect the perception of football because most members of violent hooligans are adolescents, and it makes people think that football promotes the violence. According to a study performed by a web page called “Monographs” said that of every one hundred members of hooligans, at least ninety are teenagers who are growing up with the belief that whether they have to kill someone to
