NFL? Who watches anymore? The very day that disrespectful WOKE POS took a knee during the National Anthem was my LAST DAY of watching the NFL. FOREVER!!!
Haven’t looked back and haven’t missed it.
P.S. Yes those “caps” look STUPID
Next: All players required to wear inflatable Sumo wrestler fat suits.
Just change the format to flag football already and get it over with.
Why the cap? Most players have nothing up there to protect.
I’m thinking “time outs” before a tackle or limiting tackles or hits to requesting the opponent to lay down if a specific point on the field of his or her choosing. All games must end in a tie as to not offend.
“making the players look ridiculous is going to be bad for the sport.”
But keeping them from concussion protocols is better. It’s not the answer to medical effeciency but it does cut the chances of an emergency by about 10%.
It wasn’t until the 1920’s that helmets were used widely in football and those were almost a world war I flying cap. The first helmets were actually used by Lafayette College in the late 1860’s to protect ears from being grabbed during tackling.
The new helmet will be made probably by 2nd Skull® and it has been in experimentation to replace the Rydells for a number of years. Looks like a plasstic riding helmet.

Every player should have a mouthpiece in and a neck guard regardless of position. As a former hockey coach, my biggest pet peeve was a kid not wearing the neck guard that his parents bought him, since it wasn’t mandatory.
If there is protective gear available, buy it and make sure your kid wears it. Now for foam over helmets? unfortunately concussions are part of any sport. I would severely penalize intentional hits to hurt a player. Like a season ban the first time and a lifetime ban the second time. I get there is the heat of battle, but these are no longer children.
Watching over-paid morons in funny hats running around what used to be a football field, patting each other on the ass.
Yeah, sure! That’ll bring ‘em back!
Go Woke…Go Broke!
They look like the kind of thing you’d put on the head of a special needs kid, to keep him from smashing his head on things!
Why don’t they make quarterbacks wear dresses, too?
You mean the Redskins? Who watches foozball anymore anyway.
The players weight , speed, quickness, and muscle power have exceeded the human bodies ability to withstand concussive blows. Biggest casualties, knees, shoulders, necks, ankles,arms,brains, skulls.
The guardians caps will help the head, but will probably not help the other body parts.
Players will soon look like the “Michelin Tire Man” of old.

On top of that the rules are just so complicated. Who can tell what's going on?
