I actually saw a comment on another site from a fan watching Tu'a on the ground and the poster said get up Sissy! Boxers and MMA fighters get knocked out all the time.
How many people have died when playing an NFL game?
I was with Kimble Anders today watching games and he told me he good except the short term memory loss. He was trying to get his mother out the hood (galveston) by any means neccessary. So if it meant taking hits in the head or being whatever, he was with it.
That won't matter. You cannot stop the brain from moving around inside the skull hitting the "walls". That's how concussions work. It's the violent impact that causes the brain to smack the inside of the skull.I predict the bubble wrap helmets will be in use during games before the decade is out
Anyone playing football, even at jr high is taking a risk. The cte debate was the nfl knew and tried to hide it. That doesn't mean guys wouldn't play, because some guys are so poor, they may think its their only way out. That's why they have worked to get the head out of the game and make it somewhat safer.In other words he accepted the risk for the money?
I'm well aware of the causes of concussions... the bubble wrap helmets will lessen the violence of impact to some degree.That won't matter.

Soccer has a high concussion rate alsoHow many people have died when playing an NFL game?
I would like to know how many people and in what fields they work in get CTE?
With that said, There's no way in the world Tua should've been allowed to play Thursday night.
I would argue that less headwear would be better. These NFL helmets are damn near bullet proof and I believe that gives players a false sense of security and also makes players not afraid to use their heads more in collisions. Do rugby players have these concussion/CTE issues? If so I'd like to see how they compare to the NFL or just American football in general.I'm well aware of the causes of concussions... the bubble wrap helmets will lessen the violence of impact to some degree.
I can see your point, but that would drastically change the game. Rugby players don't have near the numbers of high speed collisions that NFL players doI would argue that less headwear would be better.

See, I think the reason you have the high speed collisions in the NFL is because of all the equipment. Take all of that stuff off and instead of throwing your armoured body into someone, you're wrapping and tackling.I can see your point, but that would drastically change the game.

So much for that theory then. But it did say that the severity of injury is likely higher in football, considering the nature of the collisions to be at a greater speed and with less control, so there is some validity to the big high speed collisions occuring because of all the body armor.What does the data say?
When it comes to concussions, research conducted by Complete Concussion Management in 2018 revealed that of all sports, men's rugby had the highest rate of concussion for people over the age of 18, with a rate of 3.0 concussions per every 1,000 players per game. Football comes in second with 2.5 concussions per every 1,000 players per game.
For players under the age of 18, rugby was also number one, at 4.18, while football was third at 0.53. As far as injuries in general, a study performed by doctors Nienke W. Willegenburg, James R. Borcher, and Richard Quincy of Ohio State University in 2016 showed that collegiate rugby players suffered injuries at a rate of 15.2 per every 1,000 players per game, while collegiate football players got injured at a rate of 4.9 per every 1,000 players per game.

Concussions is huge in rugby right now, a few formal players have been diagnosed with early stages of dementia. The higher ups are doing everything to make the game safer but a shoulder tackle to the head is all it takes, even a tackler gets concussed from tackling low and getting their head clipped by the opposing players kneesI can see your point, but that would drastically change the game.

There was this guy name jonah lomu, I don't know his 40 time, but he did run the 100m in 11 secsI doubt rugby has a dude 6'4 265 lbs running a 4.3 40
Sounds about right, take a look at game 3 of state of origin (rugby league) this year - three players were knocked out in the first 5mins. Brutal sport but its been hailed as as one of the greatest games down here in the southern hemisphere.What does the data say?

I do believe there is something to this. I'd also point out that the "don't lead with your head" wasn't always taught at the lower levels of football. We were coached 40-50 years ago to stick our helmet on the ball. It's going to take time to get that out of the game.These NFL helmets are damn near bullet proof and I believe that gives players a false sense of security and also makes players not afraid to use their heads more in collisions.

Yep. My son didn't play tackle until 6th grade. I remember talking to Mike Evans guardian when he was hooping in 7th grade and said they didn't want him playing football. He had scholarships in basketball as a junior before he decided to play football as a senior.Yep. And the inherent problem with little league football is dad coaches that still run Oklahoma drills and don't care about the long-term health of their young players.
I've seen it firsthand and would advocate waiting until your boy is in school to let him play tackle football. At least there is some level of standards and liability with school districts, because there is zero oversight of little league volunteer coaches. And a LOT of those dad coaches are either living vicariously through their kids or believing that their kid is so special that he'll be a pro one day (or both).
