That's what I was gonna say too?? Is this a mandatory equipment rule, or is it just optional. If it's optional, it's hard to see a lot of players saying yes to wear them, especially if it could deteriorate their level of play, especially if statistics are saying it only reduces 10% when not everyone is using them.

It's optional. Going forward every player gets to decide for themselves how much brain damage they want to endure from the sport of football.

How much? It says 10% if not everyone is wearing them, 20% if all wears them lol. that seems specific.

They wear them in practice all the time. I suspect that fans would make a much bigger deal out of it than 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

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.

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.

Health versus other peoples laughter. I'll take health so I can make millions more and be able to enjoy it, instead of worrying bout others thoughts.

Pretty much why no one shoots free throws granny style in the NBA.

People are more concerned about being made fun of than doing something effectively.

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