Is Foot Ball Just Too Dangerous: Buzz Bissinger & Scott HallenBeck: Choice Blog

In this article, "Is Football Just Too Dangerouse", by Buzz Bissinger, Buzz talks about the dangers of playing football. Concerns are rising about head injuries, most likely for the younger players. Buzz speaks on a brain disease called CTE. CTE, which stands for chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is cause by repeated concussions. CTE has a long term effect. Something that I found interesting in this article was "Research indicates that the younger someone begins playing football, the more prone they are to concussions, because their bodies and brains are not fully formed. I found this interesting because this could change the minds of young people who want to play football. The mind of parents who have sons that would like to be football players. It could hold back someones career. Parents have to now make a decision if they want their kids playing this sport. They have to choose between their child being harmed or their child being upset because they cant play. I think that this sport is dangerous. I also think that these dangers could be prevented as well. I think that some of the rules of football should be changed. Something that will make it a little safer.
