Should parents let their children play football?

I think parents should allow their children to play football. Some parents think the game is too dangerous for their children, but in reality, I think there is no serious danger in playing. If players are coached well enough then they will practice to play the right way for example, tackling without leading with their head. Safety awareness and treatment for injuries have improved which leads to a lesser chance of danger to children. Being on a team teaches children certain qualities. Think about other kids that aren't involved in sports and have a hard time cooperating with others, while another kid that is involved easily cooperates. Every sport teaches team work which really helps in stuff like group projects or partner work. It will even help reduce the chance of children being obese. Football, in my opinion, is a great sport and teaches character, cooperation, and determination. Therefore, parents should allow their children to make their own decision on whether or not they want to play the game.
