I think the Powers That Be want America to move to soccer. They want American football dead, one way or another.

The John Riddell Company designed the American WWII helmet and made the liners their self. When I played junior high and high school football they pretty much had a lock on the helmet market.

I think they are still the leading maker.

It is a stop-gap, until you get 400 pounders playing defense. Athletes and training are just getting better.

Caveat Emptor.

It might reduce concussions. But reducing all the other lesser repetitive abrupt changes of direction the brain sustains over the course of a football career into the pros would require some sort of anti-inertia time/space manipulation.

You don’t have to hit your head to sustain a concussion. Any very fast in direction that jerks the brain hard enough will get the job done.

Go back to leather helmets without face masks, and players will stop using their headgear as a weapon
