DO YOU THINK FOOTBALL ENCOURAGES VIOLENCE? MATT BELL
No. It doesn’t cause it. It just lets out its expression. Do you think it’s a healthy way to express it? Yes, but it does look like the safety equipment needs to get better from the concussion standpoint.

NANCY BELL
Today’s football does. All the professional sports have gotten too crazy. Do you think that we are drawn to that violence as a society? I don’t like [violence] when I watch it. I’m always afraid that someone might get seriously hurt
KASSIDY MORAGO
I think so, because it is too aggressive and there are too many injuries. It seems like an image we put out there for them.

I don’t think that it encourages physical violence, but I have known groups of football players who may do other sorts of violence. Do you think that is because they play football? I’m not sure if it’s from football, but it seems to be at least related.

FRANK DEPASQUALE
It’s an outlet for aggression. It’s much better than harming someone with a weapon. If people are aggressive, I would rather see them out on the football field than out on the street being aggressive.
