I don’t think they’ll get rid of helmets. People go crazy from the sound of two helmets crashing into each other.
Teach them not to go for the head.
Rugby players have less injuries than nfl players. Let that sink in
They should incorporate it, it is much safer just like rugby
You'd also get rid of dirty plays like pulling someone by their helmet.
I don’t see why not. It still looks like a very exciting, very competitive, very athletic and still somewhat aggressive sport. But you know Americans. they will probably shut the idea down, because these economic leaders of the “free world” are so resistant to anything different. They fucking hate change.
When your body tackles, it shakes, your brain shakes, it damages your brain cells. And brain cells do not regenerate. Hence CTE.
STOP PLAYING THIS STUPID GAME. Play tennis, run track, play basketball.
I have cte at just 25
Use a lighter protection helmet like those who are usted in rugby
I just fucking realized I might have CTE
Honestly, Rugby is a superior sport so I think changing to helmet less football would be sick. Otherwise, If these fools would learn proper tackles from the jump, we wouldn’t need to consider it.
Uhhhh no be like der goes yer head
We just need to stop doing head to head contact that’s all it is just if he’s about to hit his helmet with you helmet spin move away lol
You still have to wear a helmet cause when you doggie pile and crush your head get kicked in the head football to head that shit will hurt and just tackle right
