Athletes and Concussions Don't Mix

     If a person had a concussion while playing football and didn't go to a hospital, these are what that person had to suffer through: Depression, more brain damage, other injuries, and possibly even death. He could have even committed suicide. He could have been rushed back onto the field on direct orders from the coach. This is why I think athletes should NOT be allowed to play after a concussion, minor or major. Here is a quote from Alan Boston: "I was told the fact I was pretty fit made a big difference. It could have been a major or minor one."

Compare and Contrast: Fall and Winter

Fall:

     Fall is very wet and rainy. It's also a good season to go camping, if the weather isn't suppose to be rainy. Another good thing is you usually don't have to wear heavy coats. The last thing is it's usually not cloudy, unless it's raining.

Winter:

     Winter is obviously snowy and icy. It's definitely not a good season for camping. The next thing is you always have to wear a heavy coat and possibly snow pants and boots. The final thing is it's usually cloudy.

Both:

     They both are very windy and cold. Another thing is you don't see very much plant life. Looking on the bright side, they both have something for you to do. In winter you can build snowmen and have a snowball fight. In fall you can jump in leaves.

     My conclusion is that fall is much better than winter.
