sport setting it is usually unpredictable as to whether there will wind up being an ‘assault and battery’ amongst the two opposing teams. When it does occur, many players get away with a simple, insignificant punishment such as small fine, other players may receive a short or prolonged suspension. However, the real question is why players who commit such violent acts towards one another do not receive severe punishments such as those that might occur when these same types of offenses occur…

when I was in a football championship game. Well it might not be the super bowl, but we worked hard like it was. Read my story to find out if we win, at night, on turf, at Dalzell Field. The whole season only one team went undefeated, the Colts. I played on the colts with a lot of my friends. My coach told us that the practice will be harder than games, and they were by a lot. We had to run up steep hills, run around a hockey rink twice, then run ladders the size of a football field, then last…

If you are one of the most avid fans of football, you might find it too common to see your favorite football players suffer foot injuries that will inhibit them to play for a part - or even the whole - of the football season. Let us take the case of Ben Roethlisberger for example. Being the Steelers' star quarterback, he should be formidable, right? However, that is not the case as Roethlisberger suffered a major injury last year known as the Lisfranc injury. Fortunately enough, as there are…

According to Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL says that ¨the league is more safer than it has been over the past thirteen years¨ but during the games there have been times that the players deliver heavy hits to the head and they just get up like if it's nothing.

say the NFL are doing very little in educating their players about the long term effects and what they could be facing down the road. Such as Concussion, Brain damage, and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy also known as (CTE). Some will say that they are being disobedient and stubborn. That they are not taking this situation serious enough or taking any kind of responsibility. Experts say they should stop being in denial and present to the players what their future may look like down the road.…

their life. This period of my life began in middle school but I didn’t recognize it until I got to high school and played football for Luke Amstutz. I will be forever great for what he did to me that year, he played a huge role in how I became a man. Coach Amstutz had two really big rules for his football teams; the first one was be a man. He always preached to us that football wasn’t a sport for boys, it was a sport for men. He said this because a man is accountable, he knows when he messes up…
