Between spring scrimmages and the upcoming NFL draft, it’s safe to say it’s football season once again.
The sport of football is violent, even at the high school and middle school levels.
Injuries are common, if not expected. The crack of colliding helmets can be heard even from the top of packed stadiums, where crowds cheer as men risk career-ending injuries.
As players begin to suit up for spring practice, one question begs to be asked: is football safe?
Typical injuries include concussions, ACL and MCL tears, torn meniscus, ankle sprains, muscle contusions, torn hamstrings, shoulder strains, joint separation and dislocation.
