Football players suffer more concussions(脑震荡) than athletes in any other high school sport. Is this beloved game worth the risks — or should schools do away with it?
YES: Football is a dangerous sport.
Football is a cruel sport that can have lifelong consequences!When your brain is bashed(猛撞) against your skull,it never fully recover.In fact,scientists are learning that repeated concussions may lead to Alzheimer's disease,Parkinson's disease,and memory loss. We don't let teens ruin their lungs with cigarette smoke 一 so why do we allow them to damage their brains in the name of football?
Recently,Chris Borland,a promising young San Francisco 49ers player,quit after just one year,because of the risk to his health. That's a strong statement.
And just look at all the cases of violence in the NFL (National Football League) — clearly brain damage isn't the only problem!Football promotes a culture of violence that rewards aggressive behavior. This culture needs to be stopped.
一Vikram Chandramouli,a seventh-grade student from Illinois
NO: Banning football will not solve the problem.
I've seen field hockey(曲棍球) teammates get hit in the face with balls and struck in the head with sticks,so I know firsthand: Concussions do not discriminate among sports!Why take away one of the most popular pastimes,then? At many schools,football is the center of student life. Without it,there would be no school spirit.
I firmly believe that banning football will not solve the concussion problem. Bringing awareness to this issue — so that coaches and players understand how to prevent injuries and provide proper treatment if they occur — just might.
Sports safety needs to be taught at the beginning of each season,so students understand the risks of playing with symptoms of a brain injury. And that goes for all teams,not just football.
—Amanda Vigdor,a high school senior from New Jersey

B. Racial discrimination does not exist in sport.
C. Discrimination in sport can cause concussions.
D. Football encourages students to compete fairly.
32. What does Amanda stress in the last paragraph?
