Web source- concussion

Football is a compact sport; there is a chance for injury at any second during a football game. You see players hitting, punching, tackling and tripping and when you put all of that together the outcome isn’t always good. In this blog I’m going to discuss about a source I found on the internet about concussions in football. Concussion are very serious injuries because it has to do with your brain, too many concussions is what took me away from football at the collegiate level. In this blog I am going to discuss the argument and the strengths I found about this source on the internet.
In the article written by the new york times, they stated in their argument how you can sustain a concussion, the effects of a concussion, the long term effects of a concussion and what the NFL is changing to prevent these serious injuries from the game. What I found very interesting is that 60 percent of the people they studied after retiring from the NFL said they had at least sustained one concussion, and 26 percent had three or more.

While reading this source, it was extremely easy to relate too because I myself have had many concussions while playing football. I am going to use this source to explain the effects of injuries and the long term effects football injuries can cause on athletes all around the world. I think it’s great now days that they are changing roles all around the world, from little league all the way to the NFL. I am really glad they are focusing on player’s safety, because football is a violent sport and we need all the roles possible to keep people healthy and not injured.
I plan to write a lot more in the future about concussions and injuries that happen on the football field. I think everyone needs to learn about the effects concussions can have on people, because in some cases you can die from a concussion. Your head is definitely not something you want to mess around with.
