Let em' Play

Last week in the NFL there were fines and possible suspensions for players that were involved in head to head collisions during the game. There were injuries that occurred during these collisions that will cause some players to miss a few games. People are saying that the defenders should not hit the offensive player when they are in a defenseless position, but when you are in the game and the intensity is high you don’t have enough time to think how you are going to tackle the guy you just go and do it. Hits like this are a part of the game and that’s what makes the game so special. It is a very competitive sport there are risks of playing football but that is why all of the players in the NFL are being paid millions of dollars every year to keep playing. When I was a freshman playing football my coach was very intense and loved football when we were practicing one day he told us the reason we are running so much is because we have to stay in shape for the fight; one of my friends ask him what he was talking about and he told us that the sport of football is and organized gang fight and there is always a chance to be hit and knocked out. I like the theory behind what my coach said and I have always lived by it. In the NFL these players are making so much money that they will be set for the rest of their lives. They should realize that there are going to be injuries and that they are a part of the game.  It is a very special sport, it should be played the way it is supposed to be played.
