Personal Narrative: If I Let My Son Play Football
Would i let my son play football ? If i were a parent i would most definitely let my son play football. I would let my son play football because kids need to be active and playing something. Football to me is a great way for a child to stay fit and be active.Tackle or flag football, those are great ways for a child to run around and stay in shape.To me football should be fun, you could make new friends , you could also use football to learn some important life lessons. The only negative thought i have about my child playing football is that Children should not play football because the Human body and brain are not designed to take hits after hits. No sport is worth permanent damages to one's health. Those are the reasons why i would and why

    After reading Scott Fujita’s “Would I Let My Son Play Football,” I would allow my son to play football. Fujita says, “ Here I am questioning whether children should be playing at all, and I’m basically selling the game to children watching at home.”(Fujita, 4) Here, Fujita is contradicting himself, and it shows that even a former professional football player can’t hate the game, despite the harm that comes with it. Fujita also states “.... most parents with young children who played football were most interested in my workout regimen and what supplements I was taking (Fujita, 2).” According to Fujita, football has given him the chance to be stronger, in a physical manner. After seeing how fit football players are able to be, it attracts me…

    After reading the article “Would I Let My Son Play Football?” by Scott Fujita, I would definitely let my child play the sport ,despite the fact that the sport has many negative side effects. What is really hypocritical to me is when Scott states “No.” (Fujita 2), when he was asked if he would let his son play football. I disagree with what he said because he played football his whole life. How is it possible that he loves the sport, but would not allow his child to play? One quote I do agree with is when he said “..now I actually get paid to talk about football on television. Imagine the hypocrisy”(Fujita 4). I agree with the quote because it is ironic to me how he was an NFL player and loved the sport, but is now talking down on it and realises…

    It all started at ninth street with some friends of mine John and I started recruiting some people to come play football with us. I honestly didn’t know I had a pretty decent arm. I originally was going to start practicing to play wide receiver instead of quarterback. At the time Odell Beckham Jr. ( wide receiver for the New York Giants ) was extremely explosive and dynamic on offense. Seeing him blow up on offense made me want to try out for wide receiver. But somehow John convinced me to play quarterback.…

    Nothing is certain but death, so why not pursue what brings joy and purpose to your life? American football is deeply rooted in American culture, and the public’s opinion varies. Some view football as a sport that promotes violence and knowingly damages its players, while others claim it instills valuable life values and unites the American people. I would most definitely allow my son to play football because it instills and promotes physical health, toughness, and work ethic at an early age. Even though football is known to cause neurological damage to its players, it’s not the sports fault, the fault lies in the NFL for purposely knowing the dangers of playing football and not taking action to protect its players.…

    Everyday people strive for perfection, but the truth is that no one will ever achieve it. Within every task, challenge or achievement, failure is present. Most fear the possibility of failure because weaknesses are brought out and people feel vulnerable. On the other hand I witnessed a learning aspect from failure, and have a new understanding of it. Varsity football was where I faced a large amount of failure, but in turn learned many lessons.…

    In high school I was a 4-year letterman in football and track. A 3-year letterman in basketball and tennis. Football meant every in my life so much that I had immersed myself in the sport, and was dedicated to it and nothing else mattered.

    Our fourth leg runner crossed the finish line with a record setting 9:47.9 and Lampeter-Strasburg’s twelve year old 4x800m record was shattered. My teammates and I were on cloud nine. I could not believe that we had done it, even though the countless hours we had put in on the track said otherwise. Through thick and thin, wins and losses, we were always after the same dream. My worn spikes had accumulated so many miles during the season that I had lost track, but it was all worth it when we received a baton engraved with our names and record time at the track banquet. That day, it seemed as though nothing could ever stop me.…

    Football is considered a contact sport. I like to look at the crowd and hope they are going to cheer for my team, before they get on the field. I believe in football you get more exercises than any other sport. I like the fact that you can play under the lights at night. This seems to be the best time to draw a crowd to cheer you on and parents aren't so happy to be working so they can come and enjoy the game. My dad loves football as much as I do and it seems to bring us together more. We watch a lot of football on television. Yes, you can get hurt in football, which is why some kids don't want to play. But, some hospital records show that you get hurt just as much or even more playing soccer. You can get hurt playing baseball and some of the other sports also. To be honest, I would not suggest playing a sport of any kind if you are afraid of getting hurt. Not only do you get the satisfaction of playing the sport, you can also get the attention of the cheerleaders. I have played football since I was a young boy and I hope to play in college. Who knows I may get scouted for the major leagues. Yes football is my favorite sport whether I am playing or watching it on television.…
