It's not a hell of a lot different than every driver having to wear seat belts when you get right down to it.. most of us are old enough to remember when that was seen as being the nanny state.. My first car didn't have seat belts or at least didn't have the shoulder harness.. The NFL is kind of like sports crash test dummies when you get right down to it..
