Our old helmet was too passive. Our current helmet is leading with its head. Maybe an upright buffalo in pass protection mode? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 The hypocrisy would be that if you say/pretend you care about concussions, and yet still promote the nfl via watching the nfl, which puts money in the nfls pocket, you are the hypocrite by saying you care but doing ZERO towards its remedy. It’s on the fan bases as well, because they really don’t care, and will spin the topic to try and make it someone else’s problem. Just sayin...

billsfan89 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 The NFL is a dangerous game and while I think there could be more done about player safety (I think a player with a concussion should be forced to be benched for the next game unless there is a bye week) the players know the risk associated with the game. The reason the NFL had past issues with concussion liability was that they were suppressing research and not taking proper safety measures once they had the proper information. But going forward the risks are well known and the league is at the very least making an effort to try and make the game less risky. Could there be more done? Yes, but it is not bordering on negligence at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO lawyer would make a successful lawsuit against the league based on team logos. Completely irrelevant what is on them contributing towards the attitude of the league about concussions. Dude have you ever met a lawyer? They will sue McDonald's because coffee is hot. They will certainly point out in court that the Rams helmets mimic real rams and real rams lead with head to head contact. It certainly has more merit than hot coffee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that at that trial evidence was introduced that McDonalds had a policy that their coffee was to be served only about 20 degrees under boiling, specifically to discourage refills to increase profits? They found that if they did that, it took so long for it to cool off that most people left with it and didn’t get a refill. Did you also know that the elderly woman who suffered the burns was not driving, nor was her son (he parked), when she tried to put sugar and cream in her coffee? Remember those super flimsy styrofoam cups of the past? She put it between her knees so she could tear the packets and cream (no stable place to rest it in the car) and she squeezed in reaction to dropping something and that flimsy cup collapsed, the lid flipped off and the coffee sloshed into her lap and crotch at about 190 degrees plus. She suffered 3rd degree burns on her genitalia and had to spend several days in the hospital because they had to do skin grafts. She contacted McDonalds and requested only that they pay her out of pocket expenses for her treatment, and they refused. Only after several attempts to request reimbursement of OOP expenses did she decide to sue. What really PO’d the jury is that it turned out that scores of such instances were occurring and McD’s was well aware and they did nothing about it. They could have simply lowered the temp of coffee for the drive thru. They could have provided sturdier cups based on that notice. And they could have reimbursed her for her expenses. They did none of that. All in the name of profit. Sometimes plaintiffs really PO juries With their callous behavior and juries feel the need to punish. After reading the evidence in the case opinion, I am with the jury. Sorry for the slight derail, but you distracted me. ?

What are the horns of a ram designed to do? This is glorified blatantly on the Rams helmets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
