American Football Conference

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…

Throughout my life sports (especially American football) have played a huge role in molding me into the person I am today. I excel at them due to my competitive nature and desire to work with other to attain a common goal. After high school I decided to continue my athlete career by playing Division 1 football at the University of Tulsa. I was a “Preferred Walk-On” which means I did not receive any scholarship money for playing, but I was held to the same standards as everyone else. Over the…

said she was sexually assaulted by four University of Minnesota football players. It was investigated but there were no charges pressed and the players were allowed to continue playing. The four accused and other players have missed one game already and may miss more, just home games though.

Football has always been a topic of discussion when it comes to whether it is too dangerous or not. People will say that football is too dangerous because of the recent news on CTE or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. Which is degenerative brain disease that is found in people who have had a server blow to the head or multiple blows to the head. This is not the only reason why some people say that football is too dangerous? Others say that there is the possibility of sustaining a severe neck…

and on the football field at Park Christian High School. Dan’s identity is strongly based on two different places. The high school weight room and the football field. He started playing football when he was in seventh grade. He was just learning the basics, how everything worked and what the positions were like. His coaches put him in a certain…

The NFL and college football have changed from each other drastically. College football differs from the NFL in various of ways. Many people view college football as a pitstop for big time players before they get the opportunity to showcase their abilities in front of NFL coaches. College football is different because…

When it comes to high school football it’s a major form of entertainment. Showing how young teenage athletes interact with one another making a game play be a success. It involves students getting into the school spirit by using paint to represent school colors, throwing glitter, and/use a bullhorn when there’s a touchdown. The parents of the players are always in the front row so they can get a snapshot of their kid putting in work on the field and show parental support. Behind all the fun and…

In sixth grade, I wanted nothing more than to make Lusher’s middle school flag football team. I had dreamed of being on the team from the very first day I heard about it; all of my friends were trying out with me; and we had grand plans for a year of non-contact, semi-athletic exertion ahead of us. Having been anxiously awaiting the lunch period when the team roster would be revealed, I was thusly dismayed, disappointed, and disheartened when my name was not one of the eighteen posted on the PE…

A University of Georgia football player Rico McGraw shared with me “I walk into the University…
