Recommended: Why I love soccer

Everyone has a favorite sport; my favorite sport is football. I love the game of football, it is a fun game to watch and play. The game is also a physical game to play; I love to be physical. That’s probably why I like it; also, football brings people together. There’s nothing better than getting together on Thanksgiving to watch football. I like every sport, but football is my favorite because of the love I have for the game, the physicality of the game, and the way the game brings people together. My love for the game is one of the biggest reasons I love football. All my life I’ve been playing football, from the backyard to high school. Football was the first sport I ever played. There would be days when there was nothing to do, so my friends and I would just go to the field and play football all day long; in some instances we would stay out there all night too. Football has provided me with a lot of memories that I will never forget; one memory is winning our conference my junior year in high …show more content…

In every other sport, contact is against the rules; being involved in contact will get one a foul or depending on the sport maybe even thrown out of the game. Getting pumped up and knocking the snot out of someone is like nothing else. The only sport one can do this in is football. The position I play a football is called Linebacker. Basically the linebacker has one job: to find the person with the football and knock their head off. Since I am a physical person, I have no problem doing that. Football is all about contact, and that’s what I love the most. I have an anger problem and, therefore, I love contact; I never shy away from any kind of physical contact. A game of football after a long day of problems is good for me; also growing up with three brothers, I had to fight every day, so there’s nothing like a little physical game of

    Football is a very exciting sport to play and watch. Boys enjoy getting a touch down and kicking a field goal. People love to sit and watch their friends and family perform. Even though everyone gets a lot excitement out of it, football can be very dangerous. The danger can occur within getting tackled or just by running up and down the field. "Football is at a crossroads," says Jodi Balsam, a sports law professor at Brooklyn Law School in New York. "And that crossroads is about convincing the next generation of players and their parents that the game is safe to play and that the rewards of playing outweigh the risks." (New York Times Upfront, Charles) Football has always been a sport known for hard tackles and rough play, making injuries inevitable.

  • Persuasive On Football

    On T.V we see all of the cool catches and touchdowns, but don’t forget about all the huge hits or injuries we hear about. On espn they have a category “Top Ten Hits of The Week”. If you’ve ever played or watched it up close, then you know that being an animal was good. Don Sabo states from “Pigskin, Patriarchy, and Pain” that “I learned to be an animal. Coaches took notice of animals” (Sabo, p. 61). People say that “pain is part of the game”, and I completely agree. But isn’t pain pretty much what the game surrounds? Pain is the game. It seems as though they don’t teach the kids to play football because it’s fun. They teach the kids to play football because it’s manly. Making someone hurt is the objective as an individual player. Of course the ultimate objective is to score and win. But if you can break someone 's bone along the way, or make someone cry, than you have done well. I can’t count how many times i’ve heard football players bragging about hits or injuries they gave someone. In “Pigskin, Patriarchy, and Pain” Don Sabo says “If I saw an arm in front of me, I trampled it. Whenever blood was spilled, I nodded approval” (Sabo, p. 61). In other sports, that’s considered a foul. But in football it’s expected. It’s teaching kids in their developing stages to be aggressive and angry all of the time. Instead of just enjoying what they 're

  • Argumentative Essay On Concussions

    1531 Words  | 4 Pages

    The sport itself is very violent, and even with pads it can cause injuries. Many parents of players say that the sport itself is not very dangerous, and this is their opinion. But based off of evidence concussions are a main part of playing football, and last time I checked concussions were dangerous. According to DenverPost, “For Americans, "football" involves men in elaborate and expensive exoskeletons who try to run or kick an oblong object into their opponent's end zone. This requires no little mayhem. It is all about taking down opponents, which demands collisions, concussions, contusions, and more.”(Douglas Groothuis). Collisions and huge hits in the NFL and in junior Football leagues just add to the violent nature of the sport, and this can lead again to Concussions and other injuries that can destroy a sport players career. PSU. Edu says, “Beneath the carnival atmosphere lies the fact these fans have gathered to watch young men hit and bruise one another—a violent spectacle that is one of America's favorite pastimes. Given its nature and its prominent position in our culture, is football the Roman gladiator sport for modern Americans?’(Jesse Hicks). Jesse Hicks and many other sports fans around the nation love to watch the sport of football, but have you ever thought about the similarities of Football and Roman Gladiators? Its the same
