Football is the game of America. The Super Bowl, football’s biggest game of the year, is the most watched event in the country. It is easy to say America runs on football. There are some people that believe football is no longer a good sport, they believe football endangers all who play it. Although football is a potentially dangerous sport, it teaches resilience, provides mentors, develops self-discipline, and promotes brotherhood; its benefits far outweigh any potential detriment, such as concussions or other injuries, the sport could cause to a young athlete.
