Should
Teens Play Contact Sports?
Bam!!!There
goes another teen getting injured playing a contact sport. Teens shouldn’t play
contact sports because more and more teens are getting injured out on the
field, or even in a park. Sports can be very risky and an injury changes a teen
whole life.
Some contact sports can even kill you. In the
video “Football death is 3rd in recent day” it shows how a teen died
play football. In the video it states “Football is a very popular sport and
cannot really stop until teens keep getting injured.” This explains that it
will take more injured teens to make people understand that football needs to
change. In that same video it explains how a teen died by a hit to the head in
a football game. For example it states, “Tom Cutinella a player for Shoreham
Wading River high school suffering a head injury.” Teens shouldn’t have to take
a risk of getting hurt or even dying paying contact sports.
More
and More teens are getting injured each year playing contact sports. For example
in the article “For Children in Sports, a Breaking Point” it explains “Every
year more than 3.5 million children under 15 require medical treatment for
sports injuries, nearly half of which are the result of simple overuse.”
Contact sports are becoming riskier and more injuries are not only temporary
they are permanent. Teens are not only breaking down physically but
emotionally. Another example is it states, “too many athletes are being pushed-
or are pushing themselves- to the point of breaking down, physically and
sometimes emotionally.” It’s one thing to be physically injured by a sport it
is another to be emotionally.
On
the other hand, some parents do think that sports are good and healthy for
their children. For example in the article “Kobe Bryant says competition key in
youth sports” It states “There’s lots of people out there who don’t believe in
having competition” Bryant said “I think we have to make it enjoyable and for
kids to understand that there’s a certain spirit of competition that’s fun.”
This example shows that some people think of sports in a good way. Sports are
differently healthier then seating down watching television all day. For
example in the text it states “They’ll pick up their activity instead of just
plopping down in front of a TV.” This example explains that it would be better
and healthier to play sports then watch television.
In
conclusion, sports would be better than watching TV, but when you get injured
playing a contact sport it can be very risky and it could change your life
forever under some conditions. Would you take a risk?
