How soon until the NFL makes this mandatory for players in games?

[Dr. Narcisse]

Im sure we'd adjust to it

Remind me of the N64 days where you could put in the cheat code for the big helmets

 

[Trojan 24]

Honestly it's not even that bad, gives off a futuristic look

 

[So UnThotful]

Didn't they try this in training camp and they still got concussions?

 

[L&HH]

How much benefit does this even have?

 

[2legit]

I've always said they should go with no helmets because defenders wouldn't foolishly launch head first anymore if they had no protection. Running Backs aren't going to lower their heads like a battering ram. It would decrease Concussions by a significant amount.

Can’t say I don’t like it
But it’s odd

I laugh everytime this comes up. We’d see nikkas literally die on the field if this happened. These brolic nikkas do not care about self preservation and things happen too fast in this league. Not to mention all the cosmetic damage. You’d have to entirely change the sport

That last sentence is icing on the cake

Football was nearly banned as a sport by President Teddy Roosevelt in the days before helmets due to all the deaths.

Rugby has no helmets and they have concussion and CTE issues too. And rugby is a far less open, far slower, far less vertical sport than football with incentives to make controlled tackles rather than hitting hard because play doesn't stop after a tackle.

Yup, the 1904 season when 18 high school and college players died in a single year (back when the US population was a small fraction of what it is today).

Nah. i used to go crown first on a niqqas ear hole. That aint happening minus a helmet.

Helmets create a courage you dont see in rugby. I busted a dude shoulder putting my head down as he tried to tackle me. Ended up dizzy as fukk but that wasnt happening if I was head naked.

Everything you said is true, but having no helmets would not only significantly increase injury, the sport would be seen on some Mad Max and the Thunderdome type shyt. Physics still exists and head/facial injuries would still happen

Yes it would. Rugby doesn’t have near the amount of injuries as American football. Attackers entire approach would be different without the “protection quote from scarring that a helmet only does for someone along with being used as a weapon. No one is tackling with their head down without a helmet. They need to get rid of them shyts.

Rugby is also a completely different sport, the starting and stopping is different, movement of the ball is different, and you're supposed to last the whole game since there are no unlimited substitutions like in American football. American football players would tackle different also if they knew getting subbed out meant they were out of the game until the end too.
