Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The author's claim is that Tackle Football is dangerous and adolescent children who don't know the potential ramifications of playing football can have on them shouldn't be signed up by their parents to play. He first talks about the number of times an average football player in a season will be hit in the head 389 and then talks about the effects it could have on the brain like CTE, Concussions, and Dementia. Next, the author talks about how other youth sports have already set a precedent of ending plays that could cause brain damage in children. He then poses an alternative in flag football as being safer than tackle football for kids. Lastly, he then does a call to action that despite the importance of sports for kids, the potentially traumatic brain injuries that could be suffered aren't worth it.
