This article on CNN talks about the deaths that have come with playing one of Americas most popular sports on a high school level. One particular boy from Georgia past out during football practice. His death is said to be heart related but there are about 3 of these deaths "related" to football a year. No one is sure if football had to do with this boy's death, but the media seems to be trying to find something to blame it on.
Because football is such a beloved sport in the US, it is strange to see things like this happen. We mostly hear about minor injuries that happen on a more professional level but if people are dying so young, we may need to put a few restrictions on the sport.

ReplyDeleteSo many high school students get hurt every year playing football. There definitely needs to be more protection for the players. I have been hearing of more and more injuries and deaths from this high contact sport.
