Weekly Blog Entry 2

Head to Head

After another big helmet to helmet hit on Sunday’s game with the Falcons and Eagles, the NFL is considering on whether or not to suspend some people for their actions. It is a rule that you can’t hit a defenseless player helmet to helmet. You aren’t supposed to hit anyone helmet to helmet in that matter. It’s to likely for concussions to occur. Players need to learn the importance of being safe on the field. I know it’s a physical game but you shouldn’t be on the field to kill someone. You should be out there trying to make plays for your team but not try to harm others. Many players have gotten broken necks or other injuries that have been season ending. I feel like the NFL should try and suspend many of the people who are hitting defenseless people. I also think that the NFL should try and make safer helmet and mouth guards. I don’t care if their heads look huge and they have a hard time breathing because their mouth guards are so big. I want the players to be safe and have fun out there and not have to worry about getting hit in the head when they aren’t looking. After many people watch these games so many things go through their heads. They worry about the player and hope that he’s alright. They are less likely to want their children to play football due to all of the injuries that may occur. Once someone gets hurt from a head to head collision the game stops for about 5 to 10 minutes and people pray the people are alright. I think that there are so many alternatives to make sure people aren’t getting hurt so often in the NFL.

  1. Dylan, I think you are right about the NFL coming up with something to make all the players safe. I'm sure one day the they will have something that will make all this happen. I know I don't like to see the players getting hit helmet to helmet, it's actually quite scary!
