Why not make them wear those air-filled sumosuits for protection while we're at it?...

I think you mean heading, headbutts aren't usually allowed. Originally Posted by c2dholla619

Terry Butcher does not approve.
Yes, that is blood. Yes, he played like that.

Yeah, it can have a very minor effect. I have heard this before. Every few years it pops up again that some professor has studied it.
Problem is that I haven't seen any ex football player looking like Muhammad Ali or something like that. And the former pro's I have heard about it all say they hadn't heard about problems neither.
So it seems overdrawn. Kind of like banning all tap water when some professor found out the minerals might cause cancer (super duper minor chance to ever happen but okay).

That does sound reasonable though and those are pretty vulnerable areas. Originally Posted by Cattaclysmic

One would think it's questionable to believe that it's medically sound to smack your head against a ball that is normally kicked with steel toe shoes. Originally Posted by Vapo

That is of course until those thoughts are ruined by someone who has spent their life slamming their head into things pukes onto then fornicates with my sentiments about intellect being valuable.There are no worse scum in this world than fascists, rebels and political hypocrites.
Donald Trump is only like Hitler because of the fact he's losing this war on all fronts.
Apparently condemning a fascist ideology is the same as being fascist. And who the fuck are you to say I can't be fascist against fascist ideologies?
If merit was the only dividing factor in the human race, then everyone on Earth would be pretty damn equal.

Eh, not that I really care either way, but FDR claimed that adding pads to American Football would turn the whole country into a bunch of sissyboys, but I would challenge you to go up to a pro football player and suggest that to him. Originally Posted by Kalis

Yes, that is blood. Yes, he played like that.'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

We are talking about a country that calls the game which you play with your hands FOOTball and calls the game which you play with your feet something else...
Overall you don't use your head that much during football and the ball themselves aren't actually hard and their is little risk for head trauma since you aren't actually using your head to tackle somebody, what this will do however is limit a players vision.
Also I have my doubts towards the study. 2e largest sport with most concussions behind American football isn't really saying much since most sports are less physical and the ones that are more physical already require protective gear because with sports like baseball or lacrosse getting hit by a big will have a bigger impact on a person.

His injury's are a exception and avoiable if he done what most players do and just switch.
Overall in football the danger area for players are their legs and for the goalkeeper his hands (gloves provide better grip and some for your fingers). During some matches you will have players bumping heads if both of them jump but that doesn't happen often.Last edited by ati87; 2013-10-15 at 04:14 PM.

This madness of safety of kids is just getting out of hand. Previous generations survived climbing trees, being outside without cellphones, playing sports without helmets etc. Is there something special about the current generation? Are they not made of regular human materials?

2013-10-15, 04:12 PM #14DeletedI have done when we had an American Football team from a College in the US touring round English rugby clubs, teaching us about AF, we played some AF with them, they played some Rugby with us. Well I say played Rugby with us, we had one tackle on them and then there coach pulled the team off saying it was too rough. Always had a low opinion of the sport since then. It was pretty fun to play AF against them though, those pads are amazing. Originally Posted by Reeve

Meh, you don't need one. Yes, sometimes someone gets an injury to the head, but you can get those from any other sport/activity.
