Final answer:

In legal terms, a football player's consent to participate in a contact sport like American football acts as a defense against claims of battery.


Explanation:

False. In legal terms, a football player who chooses to participate in a game where physical contact is expected, such as American football, is considered to have consented to the possibility of being tackled and potentially injured. This consent acts as a defense against claims of battery because physical contact is a foreseeable hazard in such sports.
