That kind of already exists...it's called a "neck roll", but many players either don't wear one or wear a diminished version of one, as it's not league mandated...and players claim it restricts mobility.

It's a rough game. That is all.

The answer seems simple. Make a thin outer shell with some sort of dampening between it and the inner helmet. It would be larger, but not much heavier. And when used as a club, it would be less effective.

Like that^^^^.

I remember discussing this with my father when I was 11 years old (1975) after some player had gotten a concussion in a game we were watching. Obviously - two soft surfaces hitting each other are subfuckingstantially going to reduce the chances of getting a concussion.

One reason I have no respect for the players who cry about later-in-life brain problems, is because the players have HAD the option to wear padding on the outside (like in the picture above), but don't because as so many put it "It looks stupid"...

Well - there you are.

I was gonna say the same. I barely make the cutoff for "boomer" and I believe i have close to a decade on you.

What is the "boomer" range? I think it is 45-65 dob.

What is next? gen X, I think.

I have been noticing recently that "boomer" seems to be the favorite slur these days used by thirty somethings to tell those over 50 to STFU.

Millennials are 1981 to 1996

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials

Gen X is mid 1960's to mid 1980's per wiki. Little bit of over lap there I would say.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_X

Millennials love using the term boomer when complaining about their inability to have a decent job, saying the boomers have fucked up the economy for them. Fucking pussys have more assets, better jobs and living situations than most of us did at that age.
