... Was Serious about the Whole Concussion Thing

 

For my money, it is all very well saying that you are tightening the rules on when a player can return to the field after a head injury, imposing independent doctors to assess the risk of further injury and so on. However, until you make players wear a helmet which fits properly, all of this is largely irrelevant.

 

Letting players take the field with a loose-fitting helmet is, purely and simply, negligent. Even in a high impact sport like football, there is no way that we should be seeing a helmet come flying off a player's head on half a dozen occasions in every game.

 

Do racing bike riders have the same problem? No, because they wear the correct equipment.
