Several questions regarding Crossfit?

I am training for high school football and have heard plenty of good things about crossfit. My first question is: are there any downsides? I have heard countless accolades, but there must be something you sacrifice. Second, would it help me with football? I know of the site crossfitfootball.com, but the workouts seem to be too short (same thing with crossfit.com). That is probably my lack of experience and knowledge more than anything, but it doesnt seem like a 20 minute workout is enough. I have heard that you supplement it with a sport, but that is not possible for me, as there is no football all year round, and I doubt it would be feasible if there was.

What are good running shoes? And are they worth getting for only a few weeks?

I have to take summer PE. I needed new shoes, and my dad agreed to get me some. The only problem is, I don’t want my parents to spend lots of money on something I only plan to use for a few weeks. I do work out about 2-4 times a week, but I was planning on wearing my worn out shoes. Should I just spend the money and use the running shoes for my workouts or is it just a waste of money to buy something I will only use for a few weeks?
