Great point, and of course, I'm not qualified to answer. But it does bring into play Ridell's role in this. And I don't mean they made a defective product. But, perhaps the design does more to make the helmet a weapon than a piece of protective gear. Lol, I'm way out of my depths here. I just want the game to survive, and the men who play it, to have a reasonable chance of living a heathy life when their playing days are done.[/
Do you think that perhaps even die hard fans from the Conrad Dobler days are going to be swayed by the medical research evidence which,by all credible accounts, is devastatingly powerful? I think its possible our humanity could outweigh our fandom. From the physicians i have listened to, this issue isn't Farves ankle BS much ado about nothing hysteria, it's an agonizing spiral of dementia and suicidal depression and it is very, very real. I don't know if the lawsuit will be the game's death knell, but I'm convinced it will change the game forever. I wish I were a gifted engineer who could design some sort of concussion proof helmet.
