I got into a taxi once in Auckland New Zealand and the driver was expressing his disdain for American football. He thought that all the protective equipment made it sissified! I had to explain that had it not been for Teddie Roosevelt intervening that American football wouldn’t even exist. I don’t know how the injury situation is in Australia. Anybody know?
…ah, no they don’t. Achieving scores on some tests gets you into MENSA but doesn’t make you smart. Been there, done that for quite a few years. Only thing dumber is thinking that helmets will prevent your brains from being blasted into the side of your skull when you take a hard hit, regardless.

If they used helmets of that size it might be amusing to watch a game.

Actually, what they need is padding inside of the head to stop brain from hitting the skull as it moves back and forth with hits.

We can safely assume those helmets aren’t filled with brains…

If you don’t want them to use the helmets as weapons, make them play without them.

Put that padding on the butts and they would be bouncing all over the field.

Look like Brown’s helmets. The cartoonist must know their record very well.
