I'd hate to see football come to an end.
What would our youth who are totally involved in sports do? I think being involved in football is a positive in their lives. Lessons are learned in winning, losing, getting injured, being involved with others in a common goal, having fellowship, being the center of attention in places like Alabama, positive reinforcement from being involved, and so many things that I can't even imagine. People have jobs as a result. People get to be leaders, followers, and a TEAM!
If this goes away, what will our youth be doing that is positive in our society? Become members of gangs? Sit on their cans getting fat?
I honestly hope football does not become extinct. There are toooooooooooo many positives to go with those negatives: esp. injuries and future implications from concussions, etc. There are many life lessons that you learn by participating in such an activity.
And it gives the masses something entertaining to do without their becoming members of gangs or any other negative activities. When you are totally involved in positive things, you don't have time to get involved in negative activities.
So here's a vote to keep High School, Collegiate, and Pro football. Just don't make it two hand touch football or coed football. And no, soccer just won't do it. It's just too boring unless my grandkids are involved. And even when they participate, I have to pinch myself to stay awake.
