I believe that he should play in the league.He should not be judged by his weight but how he will play in the football league,this is a free country so he should be able to play whatever he wants.If he was in the league he would be good at it because other players would get tackled down to the floor but he won't because his weight would help him stay to the ground and not fall.Another reason is that if he plays it would help him loose weight,and it would make him stronger.aqwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwIn conclusion he should be able to play no matter the weight.

I think  Elijah  should be able to play even though he is 297 pounds .
One reason why is while he is playing he could lose wait . For example he could get better and better every time . Another reason that it is his dream to play and people should not give up on there dreams . And he went home crying because he could not play football . All in all I think everyone should think he could play .

In my opinion I think he should play because he could loose more pounds that way. Also Elijah should play foot ball so his friends would stand up for him. I also belive that he should play foot ball so he could be better at playing foot ball and have more energy and exersise. In the text it said that his mother put up signs that said "let Elijah play foot ball. Elijah said he gave up but his mother wouldent give up on him. He just wanted to be with his friends and have fun. I belive that no matter the size of the person they should be able to do what they love.

In my porspective I think he should  play because it's  his dream .The coach said he was to big and but that does not madder about the weaight or the size it madders of what he wants to do in his life .And want the expirence like the other players.The thinks he should not play because he might hurt people on the team or some one on a another team.But the mom thought about it and she now wants her son to be happy and not sad because it's his dream and she was going to make it happen.So the next day they went to the coach laege and talked for a while about getting in the foot ball team .Then they said that he could play.But he had to have a symbowl of a Xmen.And the coach said he could play only one pazishan.But all in all the boy got his dream and became a foot ball player.

In my opinion, he shouldn't play football because he might fall on someone and hurt someone, he might make a lot of people get in wheelchairs, and even worse he can paralyze people or kill people.

He my opinion,  I think the 297 pound boy should be allowed to play .  It would make the team play better football. He could block the opponets better. He could make friends more easier . In the text it said why would you play with someone you don't know.You are crushing a 12 year old kids dream if you don't him play . He cries up in his room saying I give up.It isn't fair for someone to not be able to play just because of thier size. I beleave that everyone should be allowed to play no matter what.

In my opinion  I think that Elijah Earnheart should be able to play football because it's his dream  and I would allow him to play even. If he is over weight  because I don't judge people by their size or the way they look.  For Instance Elijah said he only want's to play with his friends not with people he doesn't know. In my opinion a 12 year old that weights 297 pound's should be able to play.

In my opinion, I think a 297 pound kid should be allowed to play football.I think Elijah should play football because its not fair to let a kid not play what he wants to play.Even if he pushes a kid on accident and makes him fall its ok the kid the kid can get a wheelchair.Another reason is maybe he can try and play a diffrent part of the game that does not invalve pushing.All in all, I think a 297 pound kid should be allowed to play football.

In my opinion,Elijah should be able to play. Elijah should be able to because it is his dream. For example when he comes home he was crying because he couldn't play. His mom did not let him give up on his dream. People think he shouldn't play because he could really hurt someone but if he did it is not Elijah's fault. Elijah could try and convince  the people to let him play.Elijah just wants to have fun.All in all, Elijah should be able to play football.

In my opinion, I think he should play. It`s his dream.  For example, his mother said ¨it`s his dream. everyday he goes to his room and cries saying ¨I give up¨.  Next, Elijah want`s to play. For example, Elijah wants to play because his friend`s are playing. He does not want to play with people he does not know. I feel that the president of the league is telling to play at school first. For example, why is he telling him to start at school he does not have to if he does not want to. My 2  reason`s why Elijah should play are: 1. He should follow his dream`s. 2. he keeps on saying I give up because they don`t let him play. All in all he should play and for him to follow his dreams

In my opinion, a 279 pound boy should be able to play football. First, a seventh grader named Elijah Earnheart was too big to play outside the school league. The president of the league that Elijah played in, Ronnie Henderson, said that any seventh grader over 135 pounds can´t play in any league but the school league. I feel bad for him because he is too big too play in any other league. People should not judge other people like that.

Should a 279 lb boy play Foot ball?

A boy named [Elijah] is being forced not to play Football, because he is over sized . In my opinion I would alow Elijah to play, because I don't judge by size or how they look. I don't judge by anything. He should play even though he's to heavy I would let him play no matter what

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Elijah Earnheart should play because it is his dream. I feel this way because if he feels so strongly about playing, he should, and the text says that he cried when he went home, saying, "I give up."  Everyone should be able to play, no matter what size or weight. Another reason is that even though he can play in the school league, he doesn't know anyone there. He doesn't have any friends in the school league, he doesn't know anybody, so, why should he play for something/someone he doesn't know about? All in all, Elijah Earnheart shouldn't give up on his dream, and should play.
"Let Elijah Play."

In my opinion, a 297 pound boy should be able to play. In my point of view, he should play cause he's doing for fun.   For example, he just want's to have a fun time playing with his friends playing football. Elijah just want's to stay with his friends. One reason I feel this way is because he just want's to stay with his friends. Even though Elijah is 6 feet tall he just want's to stay with his friends. Elijah just want's to play. I feel this way because he just want's to learn from the Pee Wee's then he's going to join the school league after he learns. So if your on Elijah's team read my reasons and rethink about making Elijah leave. In my opinion, you should let a 297 pound boy play.
