Concussions In Football Research Paper

Eng 102 Prof. Labounty Graycin Thompson 03/18/23 IMPACTS: The Brain And The Damage.

A bruise on the brain? Yes, and it’s more serious than you are making it out to be. You see, having a bruising on the brain is called a concussion and can lead to many different problems in your physical and psychological health. This semester I was able to take the opportunity to read and write research on the concussions themselves and the effects thereafter in athletes, a priority focus I took for example studies on football players. I chose this focus due to the fact that the American game of football is a hard hitting, fast paced, violent game that is generally more dangerous than we think with high risk of concussions on the field.

Then finally was able to establish a valid argument of points to be able to understand and provide an element of persuasion for the opposite side of my audience, an insight into thoughts and potential solutions to football’s dangers to the brains of many who play the sport. For these specific points, I believe the research supporting these paragraphs has brought me enough credibility to create a strong basis for people to understand my claim. Now you must ask yourself after reflecting, are the dangers of this sport really worth the endangerment of the brains of our future? Without a shadow of a doubt, I don’t believe it …show more content…
But my analysis of what I have found has brought me to the conclusion that we need alternative solutions as well as the current advancement in sports technology, without striving to find the answer of an alternate way to allow the youth a game of the same intensity and safety of mind. The makeup of the brain, the age of the player, when they start playing, even the kind of helmet they have on is a factor in their future. And if we’re unable to come to a consensus about the endangerment of our own youth’s futures, then the game should not continue the way it has been for decades. Without a solution I believe my claim is right in saying it is not worth it to retain a sport for entertainment at risk of the futures of our fellow man not only limited to football
