I mean, that's all just trite societal nonsense that can be conveniently claimed by the criticizer because there's no possible way to prove otherwise even though it has no actual basis in anything but whatever.

I'm digging the big words.

If you don't trust people to take care of themselves then why do you care so much about those same people that you care so much about the sport they play and the safety measures for said sport?

Seems to me that you should probably stop watching football as it would save you unnecessary agitation.

I love the sport. I don't love that the players of the sport I love lose their damn minds later in life and get treated like ****. If we can find a way to fix that without ruining the sport, I'm all for it. I think less armor would accomplish that without ruining the sport.

Let me try to understand it. You want to take two human skulls encased in hard plastic shells full of padding, remove all that, and wrap them in a piece of leather with very little padding, which would basically make players literally butt heads?

I think that's the idea though, at least as far as what it would prevent from happening. It would force players/coaches to change the way the game is played/the way one approaches contact.

I am not an expert on the subject but I know there is some science, somewhere, to support the theory. At least on paper. I know it has been talked about for quite some time.

That's just my basic understanding of the theory. That's all I am saying
