Opinion -- Where's Football?

By Megan Titus

Where has football gone? Football has been taken away from 6^th grade! I don't want to whine but that just is not fair! We are kids we need more variety of choice for sports we have over 80 kids in 6^th grade with so many likes and dislikes that we need all we can get. How can 5^th-7^th and 8^th have football but we cant don't you think we deserve to known why. We' r not even aloud to touch a football. I should know - me and my friends were playing with a football (just passing it) and a teacher stopped us.

Not to mention, I got the inside scoop from Mr. K that “ [the 6^th graders] just can't handle it.” Well, I'll assure you we can! Well, maybe. There was a hand to hand fight in soccer. I'm not saying that we can't handle anything but come on. All this from taking football away? So hear me out.

What was so bad? I think we deserve to know! So why did this have to happen? Why can't we put it aside? And kids, be more respectful to others and yourself, including teachers.

So what do you think? Will you bring football back?
