At the NFL CBA meeting, along with wages and other news, they will be discussing player safety and how to deal with injuries such as concussions. I am glad they are taking more action with concussions, which in my mind are a highly urgent topic to discuss. I believe that if you eliminate factors such as sending players back in with concussions, it will make a difference. This will also decrease the possibility of getting Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. If we all work together we can make a difference.

This is definitely a start, but I wonder whether it will have any effect on the way the game is played at lower levels - as you said, younger players are being taught to lower their helmets and tackle head first. What will it take to get coaches on all levels to make head injuries a priority?
This is at least a start by the NFL..
Finally some attention is being paid to a very serious issue. The NFL owes it to all its players, and to all of the kids who play football hoping to be like their heroes to get this right.
It's good that people are finally taking a hard look at this. From what I've heard, all the hard hits you take that aren't concussions accumulate to be even worse than the big injuries.
Great that attention is being brought to this serious issue! I hope they make the right choices/decisions.
This subject hits home for me. My good friend's college football career was ended at the University of West GA because he was taught to lower his head and tackle head first. The doctors told him one more "head" tackle could leave him with brain damage. I hope coaches will take this seriously!
It's too bad they are more worried about their money for the moment...
Amen Connor! And how many times have we seen players, particularly key players, continue to play after receiving a serious helment impact, only to learn later that they received a concussion from that impact. In such cases, "playing with the pain" should not be considered the macho thing to do.
I've seen comments from some NFL players that say that the only way they know how to play is to lower the helmet and tackle and they state it will be difficult for them to alter their style of play because it is engrained in them. They also say that that taking this style of tackling out of the game lessens the game. There has got to be other ways of tackling such that they don't inflict these types of injuries on themselves and others.
It's great that this is getting attention from the NFL. I wonder if other governing organizations (e.g., NCAA) are paying attention to this.
Does the research indicate whether hits are common or severe enough in high school football, or in other levels of play, to cause long term problems?
Concussion, must be taken seriously, a player should be checked out by a doctor straight away. Unfortunately, there have been several cases of blood clots forming in the brain by sportsman who have suffered from concussion. I say that it should be taken seriously in ALL contact sports not just football!
