A few years ago when a lot of the concussion discussion started, I was interviewing a high school coach who said he thought the game would stay the same until the courts got involved (meaning a kid gets injured and sues his school). I asked him if he thought it would be safer to go the rugby route and play without helmets. Dude was shell shocked.
