1.      Why is football violent?

2.      Why is violence in America?

3.      Why is it bad to let kids play football?

4.      Why the author believes this?

5.      What makes parents crazy for allowing their children to play football?

To discourage people from playing football.

That playing football can cause traumatic brain injury.

That football is a bad sport that should not be played by anyone, especially children.

Football does cause brain injury and can be harming to anyone that plays it. 

That no matter what technique someone teaches and knows nothing can protect them from what is going to happen from playing football.

Talks about statistics, but never points out a specific example.

No, it is very opinionated one way than the other. The author doesn't bother to give any details about the other opinions side of view.
No, because the author doesn't provide any actual facts that could be back up while reading the article.
I think it is somewhat accurate in the fact that football is a dangerous sport to play.
1. It can cause brain injury.
2. People are consumed with football
3. It can cause them injuries that can affect their lives later on.
4. It doesn't like that kids are in such danger to be messed up for the rest of their life just from playing football.
5. Parents know the risk of letting their kids play let they still let them do it.\
I could use this to help someone fight against letting football stay a sport in high schools.
 

Movie Review: Remeber the Titans

          Remember the Titans is based of of a true story about how an African- American coach took on the challenge of coaching the first season of an integrated football team. This all starts because a black and white school are both closed in Virginia and they are being forced to integrate. The coach has to battle throughout the whole movie to get the black and white players to get along with each other. Denzel Washington plays as the coach in the is movie and does a great job displaying the anger that went along with having that kind of coaching job. At the end of the movie he finally has the players playing as a team and somewhat getting along with each other. Even though the movie isn't completely correct to what happen in history it does make it very interesting to watch and possible do more research about this time in history. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and all the actors involved. The whole time I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to d\see what drama was going to come on the screen next and weather or not the team would stay together. I would recommend this movie to all genders and ages.

4/5 stars
