[QUOTE=sundown;34651]it can happen while you are walking down the street too. everyone should walk around with a helmet on. walking around with a helmet would also protect you from unforeseen falling objects from the sky. maybe even wear a helmet indoors in case of a sudden earthquake. it could save you if the ceiling collapses on to your head.[/QUOTE]
your chances are much greater to do damage to the head while riding a bike..... lets be sane about this please
the NFL commish is going overboard to protect the players. whether they really and truly care is unclear. part of it could be a CYA.
i havent seen or heard anything from the players association. they must be conflicted. part of the people they represent want to hurt players and take them out of the game, regardless if it causes long term health problems. part of the people they represent would prefer to have their health as much intact as possible for as long as possible.
as an NFL fan, I dont mind the big hits.
as a human being, I dont mind giving the players protection to keep them from severe disabilities, especially in the brain where we dont know enough to say how concussions and such are affecting their long term health.
