Football Fans, what do you think.......................

This past weekend showed just how violent football can be.  I saw at least two terrible looking and sounding helmet to helmet tackles.  Wow!!  Those hits have to hurt and quite possibly mame or even kill somone.

The NFL and even the NCAA are trying to find a way to reduce these violent tackles.  They are talking about fines, ejection, etc...

Well, I found and read the following aritcle and must say, that it may make for a poossible solution to the helmet to helmet contact.  JoePa, Penn State is strong proponent for it.

What do you think?  Let me know.

Sports, especially football, have always been violent.  With the growing size of the players over the years, the violence and injuries have increased.  I am all for safety, but you cannot take the sport and competition out of the games.
