Football is a very heavy contact sport and people are often seriously injured. Parents are supposed to be protective over their children, so it makes sense that they'd be concerned about their children getting hurt. Flag football provides a good alternative for those children with concerned parents because it is less contact-oriented but still fulfills most of football rules and plays.]]> 2016-09-20 13:21:09 UTC https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125058782 https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125058839 I can understand why parents would be concerned about concussions in football, but I think taking the contact out of a contact sport is not okay. Football is a sport where people can tackle each other, but when you take that out of football it almost becomes a completely different sport. I think there should be an optional flag football sport team, but not mandatory.]]> 2016-09-20 13:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125058839 https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125058964 Flag football isn't the same sport as football and shouldn't be replaced with a completely different sport just because it may be safer even though regular football today has equipment and safety precautions .]]> 2016-09-20 13:21:30 UTC https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125058964 https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125058997 I think see why parents are concerned but footballs nature is to tackle and hit other players. So I think if the parents are concerned for there children they should play another sport that doesn't have as much contact in it. But I think you can't change the game when that's the nature of it. This is what I think about the article ]]> 2016-09-20 13:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125058997 https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059000 I think flag football would be a good alternative for regular football. Regular football is a very dangerous sport and can cause fatal concussions and other fatal injuries. If people want to play regular football they can do it on there own time, but to help concerned parents flag football should be an alternative.

This will help parents become way less worried about their children. Also it's much  safer in general. But I think that kids should have the option to pick weather to do football or flag football, I don't think they should get rid of actual football because many people make a living from it and enjoy it. ]]> 2016-09-20 13:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059075 https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059150 I think that football is one of the most popular sports in America. It can be dangerous sometimes, but I think that it should stay as it is for at least another 50 to 75 years. For concerned parents of children, I think that kids under 10 should be placed in a flag football league just so they don't injure themselves when there at that young of an age. ]]> 2016-09-20 13:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059150 https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059165 2016-09-20 13:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059165 https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059170 If I was a worried parent I think that flag football ]]> 2016-09-20 13:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059170 https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059188 I think that flag football should not be an alternative to regular football. Regular football teaches a kind of sportsman ship that flag football can't. Regular football teaches you to take care of yourself much much more than just flag football. Flag football may be safer but it doesn't teach you the certain qualities that regular football can. Flag football should NOT be an alternative. ]]> 2016-09-20 13:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059188 https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059216 I belive that flag-football is a reasonable alternative but people still want to tackle other people. There are some people who like football but is not a big contact fan. But I don't see what the big deal is about this if you want to play football player it if you want to play flag football player it don't make a big deal about it.]]> 2016-09-20 13:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059216 https://padlet.com/alabanks/wlm1knnxj5va/wish/125059296 I think the article expresses a good alternative for the parents and children who are worried about concussions.
