2. Last year, reports show that 16 students died from football-related conditions. Most of the students were in high school or college. Three of those deaths were attributed to traumatic brain injury (TBI). According to the Concussion Legacy Foundation in Boston, about 5% of youth football players sustain concussions each year. Those statistics, however, represent just the concussions which are known. One study finds that the average number of head impacts among nine to 12-year-olds is 378 per season. In your opinion, is football safe for kids?
