Is high school football safe?

My purpose for this inquiry is to explore and find out the impact concussions are having

on high school football players and the precautions and safety measures. I hope to become better

educated on something that I am very passionate about and love.

Some of my questions I want answered are, what are we doing to minimize the amount of

concussions we see in football, what amount of high school football players experience

concussions, what precautions are we taking with kids at the pee-wee level, could there be a way

to cure CTE, and finally is football even safe to play? It would be very hard to find someone who

loves football more than me. The first toy my dad bought me was a stuffed animal dog dressed

up as a football player that would sing the Notre Dame fight song. Football had been in my life

for as long as I can remember, but it has had violent effects on players and I want to know If I

may end up like them because I played the game.
