The Pros And Cons Of Football Players

Are Football Helmets Dangerous? Why is the National Football League non-responsive on the idea of players not wearing helmets? The reason being is because if they change the helmet rule then they would have to change a few more rules regarding stance, safety, etc. It takes a lot of time and research to make changes in professional leagues, which prevents them from happening very often. Also, changing just one thing leads to other changes as well since the rules are strongly associated. Football players should not wear helmets because of the injuries related to the head, the negative effects on vision, the overall inconvenience, the higher costs of the helmets, and the time lost due to the injuries. One of the many reasons why football players

That is just a problem the league would not have to deal with if they got rid of helmets altogether. Next, brain/head injuries are a huge conflict in the NFL. It is all because of helmet to helmet contact leading with the crown of the helmet. Getting rid of helmets would eliminate leading with the head because football players do not want to hit head on with the opponent. Finally, football players should not wear helmets because of the injuries related to the head, the negative effects on vision, the overall inconvenience, the higher costs of the helmets, and the time lost due to the
