Them being mandatory is stupid for sure. You are not putting anyone else's life in danger, just your own. Same thing with motorcycle helmet laws.
Well the laws are in place to protect stupid people.

Maybe they are a bad idea.

Ugly as shit but I'm not going to give the guy a hard time over it. If it means having a long career and a higher quality of life in retirement it's worth looking like a dork. It's sad to say but someone like Marion Barber may have had a different life if not for the brutal hits his head took.

They look stupid. That's all I'm gonna say.

I seriously doubt that shell is the difference between Barber losing his mind and being a normal person.

But whatever, I'm sure that's the direction the sport will go.

Probably not but I do think CTE is a very real thing. Anyone who played tackle football in highschool has had their bell rung a few times. I can't imagine what it's like in college or the NFL. And over a 20 year span for some of these guys.

I don't know how effective that guardian cap is. But I'm cool letting a player make that personal decision.

Joking aside this is how I stand as well. So what if it looks stupid to us. We dont have to deal with the possibility of CTE the rest of our lives.
