Plz me hurry which best addresses the counterclaim that “football should be played in middle school” and belongs in the blank space in maurice’s speech? i’ve watched a lot of football with my dad and brother, and i understand why people like football, as it can be really exciting. i’ve always thought football was a silly sport, with the players trying to knock each other down all the time. i understand that people love football, just as they love baseball and all other ball sports, but not everyone loves football. i respect that people love football, but doctors are saying now that many players get head injuries, and the helmets don’t prevent those very well.
