    I didn’t realize and was pleasantly surprised to learn that the league is allowing these helmets in-game this year.

    I assumed they’d never allow that since the “crunch” is such a big part of the product.

    Maybe there’s hope for humanity yet.

      Brain injuries are an existential threat to the NFL. They’re going to jump on anything to cut it down as long as it isn’t changing the game or shutting down operations.

        Now that they’ve been shown to be covering up brain injury and concussion issues and lack of support for retired players for ages right?
