Concussions and paralysis from football is a major topic in the 21st century. Hundreds of NFL players are injured every single year due to hard hits to the head and nobody is doing anything significant to stop this from happening. If coaches of the team or the school asked me about my decision to forbid A.B. from playing football after listening to the neurosurgeons advice, I would stick by it as you should never take a chance and jeopardize your safety. Many people who suffer from this disease eventually suffer partial paralysis and severe weakness in the legs and arms. Especially when you are younger, suffering from this disease can be crippling and no one should have to go through that if they do not need to, and A.B. did not need to.
