The brutal hits that football players sustain on the field can cause severe, debilitating health
issues. Trumatic brain injuries caused by concussions can lead to paralysis, critical mental
health problems, and even death. Recent rule changes and improvements in helmet technology
have made things somewhat safer for players. However, perhaps the most important way to
protect players is to change the way the sport is portrayed by the media.
Sports media shows routinely provide fans with highlight reels of savage tackles and intense
hits. Fans are conditioned to cheer for athletes who play with a ruthlessly aggressive style. By
exalting such dangerous behavior, fans and the media encourage players to injure each other.
Until they are no longer rewarded for playing in such a violent, reckless style, football players
will continue putting their lives on the line for the sake of entertainment.
