I agree with you because a lot of people can get injured but in football we have to push each other or maybe even run over them.

The technology in the helmet is supposed to tell if a hit is too hard or not. That way, if someone gets hit, we know if it's bad enough to be a concussion.

In the game football kids sometimes want to play football but parents are are not letting the kids play because the kids might get hurt. there brain is more likely to get brain damage. somebody evented a foot ball technolgy. it helps for grownups but not for kids. people don't know of it will help for kids.

yes because the technology senses the football when it has a strong impact. my evidence is that football can help football because when they play they have a cap with a eletronic strip and the strip is made out of technology and then they where the helmet and when the light is yellow that means that the blow is modorete. it is important because when a person is down he can be hurt like the play seahawks vs patriots one person from the seahaws got hurt and was tucken in a car i think to the hospital.

i think we should us technology because is more safe ,because if not you may have serious injury and concussions so technology will make it harder to be hurt .it all so make helmet more stable and less problem and i think we should not tackle to damage to others.

claim:no,I do not think the technology will help with brain injuries. Evidence in the article Heads Up it said "kids brains are more easily injured by hard hits.we don't know how accurate the devices are in measuring how hard hits are."Reasoning:I think it is important to talk about saftey for sports because what if we get hurt and we dont know what to do and we need better equipment.

Technology would help football because there will be less people that get injured because of it. And might have to stop playing because they brake a bone.Technology would maybe make there be less people being hurt and not braking a bone or get brain damage.It is inportant to think of safty in sports because if you get hurt it might change the way you act or fell. it is also important to have beter technology it will help the spot good people might get to hurt to play.

My claim is that technology can make kids more safe. Evidence: on the new helmet if a red light blinks then the impact is to strong and so that is 1 reason to be safe. The other reason is if kids get hit by the ball really hard the red light will start flashing and that is reason 2. Reasoning: well i think that safety always comes first because it's important not to get hurt.

My claim is that the high tech tools will not protect us from serious injures.My evidence is that in the article Heads Up, Robert Cantu said that the high tech tools are not the answer to a serious problem. The article also said " kid's brains are more easily injured by hard hits. We don't know how accurate the devices are in measuring how hard the hits are.Also from background knowledge, I know that in tackle football, you tackle a lot.It is important to think about safety because you would not like to get stitches.
