In a sport as violent as football you will never completely eliminate concussions. Yes players in other sports get concussions but football is the only sport where players purposely use their heads as a weapon on a regular basis. Seeing as how the majority of concussions in the NFL are from helmet to helmet hits, getting rid of those types of hits will greatly reduce the number. And the only way to reduce the number of helmet to helmet hits is take away hard shelled helmets.
