Everyone knew that getting hit in the head wasn't good and that it had long term side effects, and then they go to complaining. The losers should all be retiring at 30 years old.

      As a 12 year rugby league veteran (from under 6'ers to under 17's) and a few years later I also played a couple of seasons of American football, (in Australia) I 100% agree.
      I played as a running back and the tackling technique I experienced was interesting, to say the least. I could distinguish between a former rugby player tackler and a newbie "NFL" fan player. The rugby tacklers were much more efficient with their technique as they'd hit and wrap, and take away your legs. And you can't run without legs.
      Then there were the NFL torpedoes, which were so much easier to sidestep/stiff arm/hit and spin away from/goosestep.
      I had an 8.7 yd average per carry because they didn't hit and wrap, they were trying to smash me which made taking their energy into my own efforts so much easier. It was well and truly some wicked fun though.

    Guardian Caps are an option, BUT “Jugular Compression Devices” show much higher efficacy in preventing brain injury. Saying the caps are “allowed” not “Mandated” is just an insurance scheme.

    Lions fan. Terrion Arnold, while wearing a Guardian helmet, took a helmet to helmet hit in the Giants practice, went on concussion protocol and was back for practice the next day, Liking the helmet because, at least in this case, the player isn't sitting out as much.

      Probably the people who understand that a soft textured object is going to catch on another soft textured object.
      These things are a twisted neck just waiting to happen.
      You gotta have a hard, smooth layer on top so things can glance off.
      The usual helmets are worse for direct impacts. These are worse for the far more common glancing blows.
      Maybe extra padding on top of the usual helmet can be helpful, but the outer layer needs to be hard and smooth.
