When I think of football I imagine my step dad and I watching all the U of M games and hope Ohio lost all of there games indefinitly. But the truth is...how good for you body is this sport. After reading an article I realized its not good for your body at all.
Some people may argue that it is good for you. Many foot ball players are in very good shape regardless of there mass. They work out it seems like constantly, even in the off seasons. For many people it may keep them out of trouble, even though now a days that seems like all the proffesional football players are doing is getting in trouble. It sound promising, I mean i know if I worked out everyday this body would look amazing but I am too lazy. lol.
What people neglect to remember is that they are basically hit by a train every time they step out onto the feild. Even though they have set rule to accomidate for all the violence its still there. Just becuase there are rule and reffs to inforce them doesnt mean it gets done 100% of the time. When I watch football on tv i see a lot of stuff happen and it may get called and it may not but the point is...it still happens.
Football is started to get played by little people, which is fine i think its adorable to see 5 year olds starting to figure out how to play as a team. The bad part is many of them are starting to do tackle football and to a big person 2 little bodies colliding cant cause that much damage, but to the little bodies its happening to it is actually a lot of damage. The brain damage that is caused from football is sometimes long term, which i dont think is acceptable. Why would someone put their child in that sort of position, its like beating the shit out of your 5 year old twice a week but they like it. When it comes to football they need to create better protection for at least young people or not have them play tackle football at all.
Over all yes football is an entertaining sport but as it goes for saftey and how smart you will be at the end....it is quite questionable.
