Argumentative Essay: Is Football A Dangerous Sport?

I believe football is a dangerous sport to play but at the same time I believe it is not, and one of the reasons it can be a dangerous sport it is because players try so hard to get a win so they tend to hit another player hard, Only to realize that hit can give him a real bad concussion. And then if is not a concussion they get real bad injures to the point where they either have a brace on their leg or arms and that injure can stop them from doing school work or doing things on their own.

In the first article I read stated that “four out of every 1,000 high school football exposures resulted in an injury, while eight out of every 1,000 collegiate football exposures resulted in an injury.” That just shows that football is one of the most dangerous sports, because while playing football most players get hit head to head or others get thrown or tackled hard. It might not seem as serious as it sounds but it is actually serious, players should be more cautions as they play. Some of the injuries are caused by running plays not only in high school but in collegate school. In high school they see that for most of the season players are getting injured or concussions. Running backs and linebackers are the ones that tend to get injures.

There was a football player named Owen Thomas who played football since he was 9 years old.

He enjoyed the ruff and and tumble of the game, All the hits he had added up and appear to have taken a terrible toll. Thomas was a junior at the University of Pennsylvania he was also a lineman on his football team, he decided to take his own life. His autopsy also showed that his brain was in the early stages of chronic traumatic encephalopathy also known as C.T.E. C.T.E is a head trauma induced disease causes many things like depression,impulse control problems, memory loss, and dementia. There also has been an increasing awareness about the dangers of concussions, especially for younger players whose brains are still

developing.
Many teens also don't want to risk being put on the sidelines by telling their coach they think they have a concussion. It shouldn't be like that because if they're still playing the game with a real bad concussion it can end up being something very serious. Concussions are more dangerous for teens because their brains tissue is less developed than adults and can be easily be damaged. Players don't understand that just because they love the sport they think their injures can easily be healed. High school players also get less medical treatment than NFL players and they're also playing in old safety gear is no longer safe as it use to be. If coaches or school officials want to be able to have a football team then they should look into getting new gear to prevent injuries or concussions.
Medical experts stated that not only are players getting hit during their games but also during their practice, Football is also the most practice intensive team sport. A study also showed that Collegiate football players have at least 12 practices for every game played. High school coaches should do what the NFL is doing, The NFL is suspending players if their violating existing rules against unnecessary or intentional hits they will be fined or threatening to suspend them. They are also trying to change, these are all the reasons why I believe football should not be played in high school, because it causes many injuries and concussions to all these young teens whose brains tissue has not yet developed fully. Football should just be played in college and the NFL because their brain tissue is fully developed.e way they practice so they can have less head
