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.
