Reading Journal #3

      Marcus Koch in ” Do You Like Football? Then Watch What Really Happen” , goes on to talk about the dangers football players face on the field. How gruesome and ultimately fatal their injuries are and could be over time. He goes on to suggest that the N.F.L should design equipment to broadcast what exactly happens in the moment of injury. He gives ideas on ooze leaking out of players helmets when they suffer a hit to the head. Or designing a suit that fans could wear that lets them feel the impact of a hit from a 350 lb. defensive lineman. He points out that fans of football have a lust for violent and brutal sports and the players are the ones that suffer the consequences at the expense of the viewers entertainment. With all the data from CTE scans showing the damage the players receive over the years, I agree with Marcus Koch on how the fans view might change on watching football if they experienced the physical contact the players do.
