For example, in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brasil, a Bosnian player named Edin Dzeko scored a legitimate goal against Nigeria called back for offside. As shown by replays, Dzeko clearly scored a legitimate goal where he was at least a couple yards onside. Bosnian fans were shocked and angry at the officials for such an outrageous call because that goal would have sent Bosnia to their first ever knockout rounds of an international competition. Such controversies have brought up a sense of unfairness within the beautiful game and anger amongst the fans that would also require a major solution. To the present day, there has not been a single technological innovation created to resolve the issues, but video replays will be used in mid-December for the FIFA Club World Cup Japan competition. The use of video replays in the competition would make football history as there has never been any video replays used in the middle of a football match.

Changes can be made to try to make the sport safer, but as time goes on players will continue to get bigger and stronger, and we can’t change the fact that it is a full contact sport. Injuries will be inevitable, some will be minor and others can be fatal. Is a human life worth less than money or entertainment? Players risk the chance of a healthy future every time they step on the field. The human body is not made to take that continuous and ferocious impact game after game. Many players sell themselves short while putting their bodies in harm’s way which increases their probability of health complications down the road. If the violent aspect of the game is not addressed, it will negatively impact the future of players and the sport. Hopefully, the studies and research that is made public can somehow find a way to make the game safer for the players. Until that day comes, football is much too dangerous and not worth the
