  • Cost of Glory: The Issues Surrounding Football Injuries

    728 Words  | 2 Pages

    America’s newfound favorite pastime, football, came from a bizarre chain of events. Football started when a soccer player got fed up with just kicking the ball, so he picked up the ball and ran to the goal. His actions of picking up the ball and running with it fathered a new European sport, rugby, which was soon brought over to American shores, and was altered slightly, the shape of the ball and a few other small rules. The sport became organized into a league and produced the NFL(National Football League). The NFL had a slow beginning, but has picked up popularity, currently having a 9 billion dollar yearly revenue. Playing football comes with great costs, including physical and mental health deterioration, plus the amount of time spent prepping before game day. Which can pose several questions, “Why suffer for a game, Is it worth the money? Is it worth the fame? How great is the cost?” I believe that football, should have stricter regulations for the treatment of injuries, along with informing players of just how devastating a concussion can be, along with the other major injuries that commonly occur while playing football.

  • Injuries in NFL Players

    789 Words  | 2 Pages

    Al Toon, father of Saints receiver Nick Toon, was forced to leave professional football after sustaining nine concussions in eight years of professional football. Football is one of the most dangerous games. As the years go on, more and more rules are being written to prevent the danger, but danger is the nature of the game. Most of these rules are for the protection of the players, but there are times when injuries can be a good thing. The Philadelphia Eagles were 3-5 to start the year, but Michael Vick was injured and the backup quarterback led the team to be 10-6, win the division, and almost beat the New Orleans Saints in the playoffs. "About 1.7 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI) every year, about three-quarters of them mild TBIs, or concussions" (Clemmitt). Traumatic Brain Injuries are used as the main form of evidence in Richard Cohen's claim that the end of the NFL is near, and quite frankly, his argument is pretty solid.

    I will argue that feminist ethics, when applied to medical treatment, is the most effective way to act upon medical decisions for the sake of the patient. According to The Complete Idiot’s Guide to: Understanding Ethics, “an ethic of care (feminist ethics)…argues for the moral value of caring and nurturing, and sees the highest moral good as caring for (and about) others.” (Ingram, Parks) During his recovery from a neck injury, Arnold Relman, author of the article On Breaking One’s Neck, found that the way he was treated by his physicians had a great effect on his mentality, as well as his recovery. In the grand scheme of medical care, feeling nurtured and cared about are the most important values for a positive recovery experience.
