   In the article, "Brain damage in former players fuels soccer 'heading' fears," by Fox News' Reuters, comments are allowed to be made under the piece. These comments are directed towards soccer's head injuries. The majority of the comments are arguing against the article and suggesting second guesses. It is hard to assume the attitude of someone through the internet but the people who commented seem to be somewhat mad, and maybe not agreeing with the piece. One comment draws attention to the clear assumption that hitting your head on anything will cause damage no matter what.


   I believe that posts can have retain value. Feedback is not always a bad thing, it can give people an insight from a different perspective. I think critique from others can have value to the given topic. "A critique is not just a response but a close look at the quality of an argument someone else has made." (Huillet, 261)
   Critiquing could even make the audience second guess their set perspective. The comments in sections provide various thoughts and feedback in the larger argument. Arguing and angry feedback aren't the only things found in the online comments. I do believe people should be cautious of they comments and how to word them, some people may get the wrong idea or start something because of the comment. Being online causes misunderstanding and such. It is difficult to communicate online if you are not careful about it. I also think people should be mature and polite towards other's opinions. Respect is key online.
