The best athletes in the world will now look like peewee football players.

I totally get it for practice, but my money says very few if any of them actually wear it... we'll find out soon enough

Yeah, I doubt that any of them will wear it for every game, but I'm thinking of cases like Tua getting like 3 concussions in a single season a few years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if guys who have already had one decide to wear it for a few games just to be safe.

That definitely makes sense for someone just coming off of protocol, give them a little peace of mind for a game or two

Sure. I guess. I mean they look silly but so does the stupid new kickoff formation. Just need players to be allowed to wear “He Hate Me” jerseys moving forward. Now get off my lawn!

I'm curious if we start to see at other levels. How many parents out there would simply dictate it as a requirement of their son's participation in high school football? I probably would. (I basically did this for my son who plays rugby and has option to wear a scrum cap.)

Initially I agree but eventually it'll be normalized & we'll all get used to it players included & they'll wear them. Assuming technology doesn't change of course.

Insurance companies, bean counters, and dick pill shilling pharma companies run the medical complex in the US. If you think a big goofy looking helmet is the answer to Tua's brittleness because Dr. DerpyDerp says so then you're woefully ignorant to life and how $t works.

Real men support their team by just going into concussion protocol.

Do we have any data on if it turns them gay?

First guys to wear these were laughed at...

NOT REAL MEN!

Big head….smaller looking body in relation…..I didn’t say they weren’t real men ffs.

It was a joke. :facepalm:

Travis said on the podcast that the players hate them.
