Abolish helmets. They offer a false sense of security.
High-tech helmets (and the rest of the gear) allow increased collision velocity and do not (cannot) protect against brain-skull collisions (concussions), which are MUCH worse than they were in the leather-helmet no steroid era.
I couldn't agree more. Better yet, just stop watching the NFL. It is merely 1 minute of play for 1 minute of lite beer and cialis commercials. Try watching Rugby or Aussie Rules Football... no pads, and pure athleticism... constantly running clock... injuries? Play goes on downfield while the battle-wounded are tended to. I just can't bear to watch American Football anymore.
