You should instead be thinking of a revolutionary new helmet and shoulder protection design to stop brain damage in the game. I think it's time to adopt the NFL pads and helmet. As long as contact to the head is still illegal, it will do a lot to stop brain damage from incidental contact.

With what we now know about brain damage in the game, it would be criminal not to go ahead with this.

Dangerous hits won't go away until the NFL enforces its rules.

Horseshit.

The pads and helmet are the CAUSE of repeated head trauma in American football.

Jeez. Imagine how much Duckwood would lead with his head if he had a helmet on. The helmet doing nothing at all to stop the brain bouncing around in the skill, which is what does all the damage, but gives the player the false impression of protection because it reduces the immediate pain of the impact. While suffering repeated micro traumas.

So you're saying we should whack them all with a brick just the once, and get it over with?

That's the problem with helmets, particularly at a junior level. When a player has one on, they can be lured into a false sense of security that the helmet makes them immune to head knocks and so they lean in with the head and have poor technique which then exposes them to more and more knocks but at a lesser severity. When you have the helmet and a good technique, like Angus Brayshaw

They also make you finish faster.

It won't stop concussive force but it may prevent a skull fracture. NFL is a very different game to AFL, "most" impact is expected to come front on (like Rugby) whereas it's 360 degrees in our game. Neither sport could stop the type of concussion Brad Ebert

I can think of a few I'd like to do that to.

But They would probably make a full recovery from that. Hundreds of micro traumas are permanent brain damage.

if you read past the first sentence, I said it would need to be combined with illegal head contact. The helmet would just be there to soften any incidental blows to the head

STOP SHOUTING AT ME.

IF YOU APPLIED YOUR BRAIN INSTEAD OF YOUR GOB YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT OPPOSITION INITIATED HIGH CONTACT THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

THE AFL ALREADY HAS HIGH CONTACT RULES WHICH MANY PLAYERS USE TO ADVANTAGE BY LEADING WITH THEIR HEAD. THEY WILL DO IT MUCH MORE WITH THE ILLUSION OF PROTECTION A HELMET GIVES, EVEN TRY TO BATTER THEIR OPPONENT WITH THE HELMET. WHICH IS PRECISELY THE CONCUSSION PROBLEM IN AMERICAN FOOTBALL.

The concussion problem in American Football isn't players trying to draw free kicks with head high contact, it's that it's a full contact game. The problem is the rules.

The problem is also the rules in Australian Football, whether the rules are too lenient and allow too much head high contact, or whether players have found a loophole by leaning into tackles.

The helmet is just a backup, which can be used for incidental or unavoidable contact. If it's not used to allow for more head high contact, some extra protection can only be a good thing.
