Solution

The statement that primarily appeals to logos, or reason, to support the position that high school students shouldn't play tackle football due to the risk of dangerous head injuries is: "Notwithstanding the fact that American football has been a popular sport for more than a century, the mental and physical damage that it causes to athletes is evidence enough for establishing a ban, at least for younger athletes."
