Football is a contact sport and can get dangerous at time. People get hit hard. And all the fans want their team to see a big hit.. It gets the momentum flowing.. I am one of those people who like to see those hits happen, i love it when someone gets their bell rang. However at tonite's game I got a rude awakening. Those hits, while fun to watch, can be extremely dangerous. But the worst thing to watch is a cheap shot. I can't stand it when anyone lays a cheap shot on someone.. Tonight I saw my little brother become a victem of a cheap shot, and i almost saw his dreams of playing football at the next level go down the drain.. and it broke my heart to watch him on the way to the hospital.. He was drilled in the back about a second or two after the whistle, and he crushed a muscle under his collar bone.. The doctor said he might be able to play next week but they have to check him out again..
Now you guys might say something like if ya can't take it don't play. well let me be the first to say that he can take more hits than almost anyone i know.. But for all you players out there, and parents of players, you need to know that cheap shots are a chicken's way of hitting.. I know sometimes people get caught up in the moment or whatever, but sometimes it is completely uncalled for.. and injuries can occur, serious injuries... So i want to tell all players out there to just keep it under control.. Cause how would you feel if someone came in behind you and busted your guts out, just because he was pissed off..
