[quote=Anonymous]American football will exist as long as there is money to be made. In our DCUM area, football is not viewed in a positive light. But in many parts of the county, it is revered. Until the corporations take their advertising dollars and colleges take their scholarships away, football will exist. For people who grow up in football culture, you want to play. Your parents want you to play. It's similar to how our kids want to go to college and we as their parents want them to go to college. It's what you know because it's the culture in which you were raised. Since we in DCUM land value academics over football, it seems odd to us that people let their children play this sport even knowing the risks.[/quote]
