Question

Because of the health risks associated with concussions, injuries, and CTE, many parents are starting to forbid their children from participating in high-risk sports such as football. What do you think of these parents’ decisions, given what you have just read? Have your parents encouraged you not to participate in such sports? What decisions do you think you would make if your own children wanted to play football one day? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yet despite its popularity, there is increasing concern and controversy about the long-term safety of playing football, which has resulted in many parents deciding not to allow their kids to participate in the game. In fact, a recent Bloomberg Politics poll found that half of all Americans say they wouldn’t want their child to play football.
