Dangers of American Football Essay

Looking across the field, I see all the high school football players walking on the field to practice. Their coach blows the whistle as a warning to hurry up. As I look around, I notice that not all the football players are dressed properly. As I am sitting on the bleachers watching them practice I witness two players get seriously injured. One player, who was the quarterback, got hurt because he was playing without his pads. He dislocated his shoulder because he wasn’t suited up properly for…
