[QUOTE="Cam, post: 310555, member: 568"] I know you're joking, but it's an interesting topic about the future of football. We need a significant change in helmet technology to make concussions practically impossible, otherwise we will more towards a flag football format. Then it's getting guys to wear better equipment even if it impacts their performance. Will need top players to endorse it. Reminds me of Jacques Plante in hockey. Top goalie who broke his nose in 1959 from a slap shot and popularized wearing a mask after coming back out later in the game wearing one. Didn't take long for it to catch on. I've seen those big cushy helmets from practices. I don't know how much of an impact they have, but they may become standard as more information about CTE becomes available. A lot of parents already don't want to risk their children with football anymore. [/QUOTE]
