Really? The Huskers weren't worth watching this season?

It taught me a lot of lessons about life and responsibility and how to interact with friends. There is also a lot of pride and passion that connects me with my school mates and my school because of football.
I know a lot of people who would rather watch Star Wars than play or be involved in football. I tell them, without sports life would be very boring. Super heroes are for people who are not proud of who they are and they want to look up to something artificial to inspire them. Athletes in the National Football League are real life heroes. They are human just like you and me, and they extend the limits both physically and mentally of humanity every Sunday on national television. And it starts with youth football, which is widely available because of public schools. It's how I got into the club.
I respect your opinion, man.

I sorta understand the doctors for banning it because your brain gets damaged overtime even from small hits.

Maybe your brain can be damaged, but that doesn't mean high-school football should be banned. Every kid has the choice to play. If someone wants to play football, then they should understand and accept the risks.
Nobody should have to ban any sport for safety reasons. People need to figure out that if they get hurt, it's their own fault. They chose to play that sport, and they need to accept the fact that they themselves are the reason for their injury. If they didn't want to get injured, they should have stayed home.

And more research needs to be done to find better ways to strengthen helmets and protect against blows to the head. I wrote a research paper on concussions in American football a year ago, and some of the stuff I saw in my research was mind-boggling and, quire frankly, sad.

Uh, Revan? I don't think you're getting what I'm saying.
Kids have the option to play. That is their option and their decision. It is up to children and their parents. If they do not want to risk injury, they should stay home!
Why would you want to take that freedom away? I played football in 5th grade, and I had a blast. An injury free blast.
