SHOULD HIGH SCHOOLS DROP FOOTBALL BECAUSE TOO MANY PLAYERS ARE GETTING INJURED? By Nyla Veal

SHOULD HIGH SCHOOLS DROP FOOTBALL BECAUSE TOO MANY PLAYERS ARE GETTING INJURED?

High schools should not drop football because it would affect a lot of boys especially black boys who play football for a scholarship. If football is dropped, boys who are not academically smart and not financially stable, there will be a lower rate on students going to college. Not only will it affect the college rate, but there will also be less educated men and women (who play football). Football also help keep boys out of trouble because it keeps them busy after school. Allowing teens to be able to stay active, fit, and busy, is a good thing and it’s a great thing that should not be taken away. Another reason why football shouldn’t be dropped in high school is because when the boys get to college, they won’t be as prepared.
