“One point that I think time will tell- The human brain just can’t take a whole lot of concussions and not suffer serious damage. Ti’s s delicate instrument, a lump of living cells weighing a few pounds and yet more powerful in many ways than any computer designed by man... it isn’t designed to be whacked hard, helmet or not, especially in one’s youth. It seems obvious and common sense to me, as much as I loved (and love) football and boxing and even wrestling...”

You forgot to add that the head does not have to hit or be hit by anything and still there can be concussion. All it takes is for the brain to impact the inside of the skull. A hit does not necessarily cause that.

That is true. I did know that, but it did not seem directly germane to the point that the brain is actually a delicate instrument not really ‘designed’ to take repeated concussions and function at full potential. But your point is very, very true!!!!
