CMV: The NFL is bad because it's violent, but it's not the only source of violence in this country, and we shouldn't focus our efforts on stopping violence by outlawing football when there is so much other violence going on.

I love football. I love the NFL, and I'm not just talking about the Kansas City Chiefs. I think the NFL is the most exciting league in the world right now, and I'm not just talking about the sports side of it. I love going to games, and the people, and the entertainment, and the halftime show. It's one of the most fun things I've ever done. I grew up playing football, and I'm so glad I did because I think it has taught me a lot about discipline and teamwork, and I will always be a football fan.<br><br>But I think the NFL is bad because it's violent. I hate seeing football players hurt, and I hate the fact that they are being hurt. I think that football is contributing to the amount of head injuries that people get, and I think that's terrible. I don't think it's fair to the players who don't want to get hurt, or the players who have brain injuries because of the game. I know that football is a contact sport, and people will get hurt when they play, but I think it's a bit much when you are getting hit in the head 20 times a game, and I don't think it's fair to the players. I think that's why the NFL is trying to do more about head injuries and player safety.<br><br>But here's the problem with that. Football is the safest thing we have going on in America right now. I know that football is violent, but it's not the most violent thing in the country. There are so many more violent things going on in America right now. I don't think we should focus on stopping the violence of football when there are so many other violent things happening. There are shootings happening every day. There are car crashes happening every day. There are drunk drivers crashing into people every day. There are people getting stabbed and beaten up every day. There are police shooting people every day. There are people shooting people every day. There are so many more violent things happening in this country than football players getting hurt.<br><br>I think the NFL is bad because it's violent, but we should be focusing our efforts on stopping the real violence going on in this country, not trying to outlaw the NFL because of all the concussions that players are getting. There are so many other violent things going on in America, and I don't think we should be focusing on something that's safer than all of that. Football is violent, but it's not the only source of violence in this country. We shouldn't be focusing our efforts on stopping the violence of the NFL, when we should be focusing on all of the other violence going on in this country.<br><br>**
