The solution is simple - sports should ban ALL hits to the head. Zero tolerance, it is uncalled for and brings nothing to the game

- Travis 16y agoWould this really solve anything? It would reduce the rate of serious hits (and thus concussions). But by what amount? Any time you have men this size, who are this motivated, moving this quickly, you'll have serious injuries. Not to mention the fact that the elephant in the NFLPA's room is that its starting to look like subconcussive impacts are a major part of the problem. The big hits and helmet-to-helmet draw the attention, sure, but the 60 hits per practice are what drive much of the damage.
- bbuffone 16y agoYou are trying to remove the initiation of contact to the head. This does a couple things 1.) Simplifies and remove ambiguity from any call. 2.) Reduce the initial impact to the head. Is it going to eliminate all head injures no, but is a clear way to define a rule.
