The cause and effect of injuries

#11

Quote:They're gonna have to continue to reinvent the gear. What they use now is head and shoulders better and more protective than the gear they used 20 years ago, but they're gonna have to keep pushing forward with innovations in helmets and padding. It won't completely take out the injury factor since football is a violent sport, but reducing that injury factor is always a concern I imagine..
 

Ironically, there have been talks about reducing concussions by going back to old leather helmets or even practicing without helmets. That is because hard plastic makes players think it is safer than it is to hit opponents in the head.
