[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1059529, member: 14668"] If you want to reduce head injuries in football, the answer is simple; [I]remove the face masks from the helmets[/I]. I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but removing the face masks would force players to tackle [I]properly [/I](hit with the shoulder and wrap with the arms) instead of using the helmet as a battering ram. You would see a few broken noses and knocked out teeth, like hockey players get, but I suspect there would be far fewer concussions. [/QUOTE]
