From the research I have conducted I believe that Rugby Union, Rugby League and American Football at an adolscent level have not become too dangerous for a child's brain and spine. The reason I believe that more and more people are condemning these three sports is for two reasons. Firstly when they watch TV and see the collisions professionals are involved in they often think that this is similar to the play their children will be getting involved in. Parents have to remember that professionals in all three sports are trained athletes who make up less then 1% of the overall players . Secondly I believe that there are now more reports into severe youth injuries and now the media likes to concentrate on stories like this to try and provoke a reaction from its audience.
