Article #9: "America's Sport"
http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2012/09/08/football-continues-to-dominate-high-school-sports-despite-concussion-risk/
In this article the discussion is about concusssions as part of the game. You can not element concussions its envitable. As a former NFL lineman Brad Culpepper said in the article, "If you weren't seeing stars after a hit, it wasn't a good hit." That statement seems very brutal but its the honesty of the game. Another topic the article touched on is that dispite the health issues football still continues to dominate the professional sports in America. It is very much still "america's sport" as a matter of fact the popularity of spectors for football has increased as more people are more aware about concussions. They want to know what the future of the game will be.

Article #8: Just let the kids play
http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/8297366/espn-survey-finds-news-coverage-concussions-leads-majority-parents-less-likely-allow-sons-play-youth-football-leagues
This article goes into the mindset of parents when it is related to football. Many parents are very cautious of there children health and some parents believe football puts there health in danger."Football is a sport a in which severe injuries can happen when a child is not properly coached. Most youth football coaches are concerned only with winning." This statement is very true my self have come across coaches in my years of football who are only concern with winning. Therefore missing out on the importance of good technique. The unfortunate part about concussions is that even though good technique can prevent injuries, concussions are just apart of the game. So I guess parents do have valid concerns about there children playing football. Even the most die hard football fans will not let there children play because of fear of concussions. In my opinion I'm just like let the kids play and enjoy themselves. When they get that first concussion is when you can think about restricting them from playing football.

Article #7:Football over...
http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2012/06/07/the-end-of-football-as-we-know-it/
This article just a few sentences long is trying to get at the point of is football as we know it longer. In my opinion yes football as we know it is done with. Concussions are becoming very much apart of the game. I believe that there will come a point in which players need to be punished for violent hits to the head. I already see a little now in the NFL where referees are throwing more flags and giving more penalties to a person who hits a defenseless person head on. The NFL is really trying to better there rules on head to head hits to ensure that player safety. Unfortunately if concussions continue to be a big problem numbers in youth football could dwindle as parents become more concern for there child's health.

Article #6: Is it Really worth the risk??
http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/16/ohio-state-linebacker-choosing-career-over-concussions/
This article is about former Ohio State linebacker, Andrew Sweat. He gave up an opportunity to play in the NFL because of his fear of his health. Through college he had suffered multiple concussions he of course missed some games but his production was still good enough to get him a chance to play in the NFL. His rational behind turning down an opportunity that most can only dream of was his fear of concussions. He tweeted, "Concussion symptoms didn't want to risk it.. Thanks to the browns for the opportunity. Health trumps football any day." There are so many times where injuries go unnoticed by players and if they do notice most try to play through it. What makes this story interesting is here is a player who suffered multiple concussions and is giving up his love for starting a career in law because at the end of the day your health is more important than playing football. It kinda makes me think about my self and how I have on several occasions overlooked an injury that could of been very serious just because I wanted to play. Ultimate moral is players should really think about long term consequences of playing through head injuries.
