Revised non fiction post.

In the two articles I read "Is football dangerous?" by Buzz Bissinger and Scott Hallenbeck these two men both feel different about the game of football. Buzz feels that football IS in fact dangerous. He feels that way because of CTE: A brain disease that you can get from numerous amounts of conclusions. Scott on the other hand feels that football isn't that dangerous. He says this because girls hockey has the highest concussion rate of any sport. Buzz wants his readers to feel football is very dangerous. He shows this by using the brain disease CTE, and he also says that he will never let his son play football because it is "Simply to dangerous." Scott Hallenbeck wants his readers to feel football isn't as dangerous as Buzz makes it sound. He feels this by saying "Concussions are prone to happen in any sport children participate in." (which is true) and also showing that the percentage and number of concussion suffered in girls hockey is higher and greater than football. In my opioion I do know that football is a dangerous sport, but I support hallenbaeck's arugment. When playing any sport everyone should be reminded you can get a concussion. And now knowing that girls hockey concussion rate is higher than any sport, that proves that football isn't the most dangerous sport.
