then it would open up who could actually get a job in the NFL and create jobs for mechanics as well.
But we can do more to prevent concussions. Just because we can not eliminate thme comp;etely does not mean we should not keep trying to prevent them.
Seems to me it would help to have some sort of more flexible or "floating" face mask that would absorb more force. Maybe have little shock absorbers where it attaches to the helmet. Or have the helmet constructed of separate pieces held together with a flexible material.
