Heads up

The NFL bestrides the national sports landscape like a colossus. Yet there is one dark cloud looming on the horizon threatening its popularity. Actually, there are probably more and I’m not counting the fact that players are literally outgrowing the sport. You pretty much have to weigh more than 200 lbs. to start in high school ball, a huge change from twenty years ago when a majority of the offensive and defensive lines on my beloved East Vikings didn’t crack 190 lbs.

 

But the larger danger is the growing realization of the damage and extent of head trauma and brain deterioration of football players. So this invention might help the situation.
