    Conclusion Essay Football is a huge part of my life as I started to play this game at the young age of five. Throughout the years of playing and countless hours of “up downs” and what seemed like running forever, I acquired a lot more than just bruises and broken bones. I learned skills that I can carry with me for life. Football is a classic american sport that is possibly the most violent of all sports and while 47% of all concussions occur in highschool, it is still one of the most widely popular sport played by kids all over America. I would give my son permission to play this violent sport because I want him to experience and learn all the good attributes such as respect, teamwork, and building confidence.…

Growing up I used to see my friends come home from little league practice everyday on school days and that really used to make me mad. They used to get home when the street lights were on and we were not able to come outside and play at that time.…
