[QUOTE="buzzn3, post: 985844, member: 6817"] Not googling the sources right now, but I believe there have been several studies/proposals to reduce the protective equipment in football, especially the helmets, in order to make it safer. Basically revert to something closer to rugby, re-emphasizes safer tackling techniques since players wouldn't be flying around using their heads as battering rams, etc. That of course, brings up the question as to whether rugby is seeing a lower occurrence of CTE (if it's even being monitored)/other serious injuries and whether that's even a remotely valid theory (again, would have to go dig up the articles).
