I Am Now More Open-Minded About Football

I don't like the physical damage football and hockey create. And I think college sports has taken on absurd proportions (at the very least, they should properly pay their athletes). But I am in favour of sports, and especially in favour of the role of sports in the education of young people. It's far more than the "structure that football can give young people" talked about in this article. More than just empowerment, more than just participation. Sport teaches people to endure, it teaches people how to lose, and it teaches them the effort it takes to succeed. And it does this through a combination of personal experience and role models. P.S. Go RedBlacks!
