A stop to the madness in the NFL
For months now the NFL has made a big issue about helmet to helmet contact, hitting a quarterback, and even defenseless receivers. The more I look into it I have noticed that many of these quarterbacks and receivers aren’t even properly equipped. Now they all wear shoulder pads, helmets and even other things to look flashy. But where have all the mouth pieces, leg pads and even braces to prevent injury gone. If you watch college football at all you will notice that everyone is properly equipped. Thus how many injuries do you see on a weekly basis? The NFL has had injuries on a weekly basis and many of them head injuries. From the pee wee level mouth pieces had to be worn. Why is it that professionals aren’t, and to think the kids look up to them. If the NFL is so worried about changing the game and the safety of the players then they need to look into the equipment that the players are, or should I say not wearing.
