Will the new XFL do anything about CTE and if so what?

[ShootSpeeders]

Would softer helmets made of rubber do any good.? How about a ban on head contact.?

 

[Lewdog]

No. Softer helmets don't do any good. Brain injuries occur from the brain moving and hitting the inside of the skull. Helmets won't get rid of that.

The NFL already has a ban on head to head contact and it hasn't gotten rid of concussions.

What will the XFL do? Make players sign a waiver saying the league is not responsible for the possible injuries related to the play on the field.

Actually, there is some work being done on more flexible helmets in hopes it can reduce concussions and brain injuries.

Not too many head injuries in Rugby like there is in the NFL, and Rugby doesn't use padding. When you put body armor on brainless thugs, all they are going to do is run at you like a bull and pray you aren't in the way. Take the protection away and after a few impacts, the brainless ones will stop being overtly aggressive..IMHO....

A concussion is not when you head hits another person's head, it is when your brain inside hits the inside of the skull. I have seen quarterbacks who arent hit helmet to helmet bt when they are thrown down backwards, when the helmet hits the Soft Turf with sufficient force, the brain ends up getting scrambled. Take away the force and there is less concussions.

1. Showing results for concussion is brain hitting inside skull.
   No results found for concussion is braing hitting inside skull.
2. A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury. Any acceleration that causes your brain tissues to hit inside the skull, can lead to a concussion. Some of the major causes are a blow to the head, fall, or any sports related injury that shakes the brain. The brain is a very soft organ.

Softer helmets should reduce the deceleration upon impact and that will lessen the chance of the brain hitting the skull interior. THINK

I'm talking about banning all head contact. Such as using a forearm against a head.

Rugby is unprotected football. Very bloody but not brain killing. It's similar to gloved boxing versus bare-knuckle. Boxing was popular in the 1800s but no gloves and so the boxers knew they couldn't hit that hard or they would hurt their hands. Then gloves were introduced and the sport became less bloody but more brutal as they could now punch as hard as they wanted.

No, it wouldn't. Do more research.

Softer helmets is an oversimplification, but as the Wired article I posted earlier talks about with the Zero1 helmet, there is hope that better helmet design can reduce the force that a player's head experiences, reducing the trauma to the brain.

It doesn't matter... brain injuries happen inside the skull from quick stops and the snapping of the head back and forth. That has nothing to do with the helmet.

Sounds like you're another idiot who lets the "experts" tell him what to think. I think for myself, thank you.

It's great to think for yourself as long as you know what the fuck you are talking about. Are you a brain surgeon? Are you a neurologist? How many years have you gone to medical school?

Of course the helmet matters. Softer helmets will reduce the brain deceleration when a head collides with something.

But realistically there is no way to make tackle football as safe as say baseball or basketball. It's just a stupid sport.

It does matter if it can reduce the force with which the brain is moved around inside the skull. That's what these helmet designs are attempting to do. Whether they work or not is another question, of course.

Another brilliant "rebuttal" from our liberal loon. HAHAHA
