    You might not even need to get rid of the helmets. I've seen at least one old-timer say that this is all because of the invention of the face mask, and that just removing the face mask would be enough to prevent most head on head contact but still protect the head in falls.

    Thing is it's not just football.

    Boxing
    MMA
    Rugby
    Hockey?
    What else am I missing?

    Oh man for sure. CTE has already deterred me from ever wanting any of my kids to play football unless, of course, they're Big League material.

    Definitely don't mind seeing NFL going downhill. Not a fan.

    It seems like the.NFL brushed Kelsos puffy helmet under the rug, and to this day, no talk of it. It’s just common sense to me.

    Also of note, Kelsos helmet is in the pro football hall of fame. Irony.
