Won’t those things be hot as hell? Brain boilers.

Not sure about the senile part, but I get your point. I played football, rugby and wrestled through high school. Played College football and rugby. Then 20 + years in the army. At age 51 my body is wrecked. The first 30 minutes or so every day I walk like Fred Sanford. Once I’m warmed up it’s ok.

But my hands, back, knees, neck…something always hurts. Can’t really run anymore but I do walk 10,000 steps a day. Not sure if it’s more Uncle Sam’s fault or mine. I was a pilot, so had it pretty good. Oh well.

I didn’t read article. The Guardian caps look like outside padded helmets.

By the stupid author’s own words the helmets are NOT a “fashion trend.”

Is that G for gay ?. A sorry replacement for the Indians.

Stop teaching tackling where you use the helmet would help a lot. The helmet should protect for incidental contact only. That instruction needs to start way down at little league, maintain it through jr high, high school and college. Apply crippling penalties if done deliberately. Here’s a suggested ‘crippling penalty’ - make the defense play a man down for a series.

I hope they also increase their knee padding, don’t want any injuries from these commies kneeling during the anthem.

Don't get me started. It's sad.
