Why Kids Should Be Aloud To Play Extreme Sports

With around 45 million kids enrolled in some type of organized sport, it’s clear that youth sport is a massive part of American culture. Most people remember playing a rudimentary form of soccer or basketball during elementary school, when rules weren’t too important, and having fun was the only goal. While nearly everyone can recall playing some kind of organized sport during their childhood, a very small percentage of people stick with sport beyond middle school, and even fewer go on to play after high school.

However, Golinkin also expresses the necessity of sports and how they help teach teamwork, sportsmanship, toughness, and competiveness only learned from collective team sports. “…Powerful athletic enterprises has very real costs for the participants who deliver the thrills” (Paragraph 2, Line 7-8) is part of a statement from Golinkin where he is establishing that injuries are a fact when participating in sports. He states a couple of particular events in the history of sports where injuries have caused permanent injuries and even death. The cases of serious injuries were expressed and had heartfelt concern behind them in his report, however, he defends these dangerous sports by further stating benefits that are gained from participation. There is a quote from Barack Obama where he expresses his a strong opinion on football by saying, “If I had a son, I’d have to think long and hard before I let him play football.” (Paragraph 6, Line 2-3) Golinkin finalizes his opinion in his conclusion by explaining that he believes one’s child should be able to make their own decision to play sports.

Over the past years, injuries from football have become more common. Many parents believe that football is a dangerous sport and are often hesitant to allow their children to play. There are many headlines and videos that refer to players getting injured.and therefore, football is not always portrayed in a positive light. Many see football as a sport where players get out on the field and the object of the game is to see how bad they can hurt the other player. It is often viewed more as a boxing match than a football game. It is an extremely physical sport so the possibility of getting injured is in the forefront of parents minds. An experienced coach and knowledged football coach can make all the difference in the injury rate of players. Even though football can be a dangerous sport, it is very beneficial to allow children to play because it teaches important values such as responsibility, leadership, self discipline and teamwork. Also not only does playing football keep the players in good physical shape, athletes often do better in school.

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).
