Is the death of football (and other contact sports) coming in our life time?

    Do away with the face mask and you will reduce the amount of helmet to helmet hits reducing the amount of head injuries!!

    Someone lowering the crown of the helmet into someone's face at full speed wouldn't be a pretty sight. Might kill them.

    We will have to find ways to protect players from concussions and neck injuries. But contrary to the football powers that be--it is not going to be through rules changes or reeducation on how to tackle. Equipment improvements are necessary. Don't ask me what those will be. I'm secretly working on a solution in my underground laboratory.

    Seriously, if equipment can't protect kids, then eventually the game will change through necessity. Two hand touch? It won't be our game.

    I would agree with that ^^. Between plastics and ball bearings, there ought to be vast safety improvements just around the corner. As to soccer (futball) and wrestling, a rudimentary helmet should provide vast improvement. For hockey, ice and field, and pardon the expression, lacrosse, likely some more serious headgear is needed to be worn due to the sticks and puck, velocities, and such.
