Football the Intimidation Culture

In the video we watched called Football High.  In the video, the coach mentions that they do not cancel football practice,  in case of high heat, in the summer  Because of wining.  The video also talks about if a high school loses so many games in the football season, then a football coach gets fired.  Like a professional or, a college football coach, getting fired for losing so many games.  I think that we should not take wining so seriously.  In a game you win some, and lose some in a game.  I have heard people say to other people, because their favorite team lost.  A person flocks to a winning team just for winning.  That is called a bandwagon fan.   I think that people who watch sports, or even play sports, have a fear of losing.
Plus, we televised college football, professional (pro) football, and now high school football.  Football High video said that high school football was never televised on national TV, compared to modern football.  In my opinion I think we are being too hard to high school football players.  For example a person in high school, chooses a college, and it is on television.  This can cause extreme stress for the athlete.
 Football High mentions that their tight end, and other positions are overweight.  This is socially acceptable, and normal in football today.  One of the coaches says the overweight football players was socially unacceptable, and taboo.  That is one of the intimidation culture, big football players.
