Yes, I would let my child play football. The first reason why is that I don’t think football is a bad sport at all. I believe football is a great sport to play because your child gets exercise, gets to be with his friends, and makes him tougher both physically and mentally. Another reason why I would let my child play football is that he’s a kid and if he wants to do something let him. A lot of parents are really protective of their kids because they don’t want them to do something that they will regret but I believe regretting something is just a part of life. The only way for a kid to learn right from wrong in life is to do the wrong. Everyone learns from their mistakes and in this situation he should know about the consequence of playing. The third reason why I would let my child play football is so they’re not causing trouble. People that play football almost always get recovered from an injury. I’d rather have my child be in danger of getting hurt then getting in trouble because getting in trouble WILL resolve in a lifetime punishment and getting injured, you more likely to get healed then have a lifelong effect. These are just a few reasons why I would let my child play football, the sport isn’t as bad as it seems.
As a parent I would not let my child play football because I do not want him to have CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy.) A hit for a football player is like a hit from a 25 mile an hour car hitting them in the head, chest, arm, leg or other place. I would like my son to remember who we are and not forget thing at are important. It was show that every football player has gotten a concussion in the time on the field. By the time there 30 they will have a high change of losing memory, loss of consciousness and persistent amnesia. But they are other thing I would take in to thinking. If my son would have so much fun playing and really wanted to I thing I would let him play football. But if it was up to me, I will not allow my son play football.
The fragile teenage brain I would let my son play football, because sure it is a dangerous sport but you can also learn a lot from it. Football is a sport when children can learn to work together as a team. sure you might get some head injuries but that’s not out of the ordinary as a child everyone gets hurt in their lifetime it is just life’s way of saying watch out! Another reason I would let my child play football is because it teaches them how to respect others as well because working as a team in a fun yet dangerous environment can teach a child a form of discipline which is a very good life lesson to have. Although if a child gets hit in the head hard enough with a football enough times it can start to damage to brain that’s when you should tell you child HEY you need to watch what you’re doing and start protecting yourself more.
If I was a parent I think that I would let my kid do whatever he likes. After reading this article I realized how these sports can actually affect your health tremendously. On second thought I would probably give it a long time to think about because it’s not worth losing your memory and brain power. What gets me is the fact that even though people in the NFL seem to keep getting these multiple times, they never seem to stop playing. I also thought that it was amazing that people who play football are 7.7 times more likely to experience memory loss. The fact that there are around 2 million concussed people a year that just blew my mind. In conclusion I think it is a bad idea to let your kids play football because it can cause very serious damage to your brain and body. Cole Gracyalny
