The game is changing. Officiating is getting more strict. Especially with helmet to helmet contact. With that being said, football is a contact sport. Players are going to get banged up. Unfortunately, injuries are a part of the game and always will be no matter how much we try and control that. As a parent I'm a firm believer in this game. It can change young men's lives. Teach them about life. How to work as a team. How to get back up if you get knocked down. There's no other game like football. And as a parent and a former player, I know you injuries happen. It may be my kid or the parents sitting next to me kids. None of us want anyone's kids to get hurt but it's inevitable. IMO you can tell when a player is actually targeting and trying to hurt someone. In most cases players aren't trying to hurt others. It seems like anymore just because a player makes a vicious hit it's automatically targeting. I don't agree with that and I think that's why there has been so many ejections. To be blunt, I think this new generation has just got soft.
