Maybe the message is finally getting through the NFL’s thick skull:
Kill the head of the player and the sport will die.
Maybe the suicide of Hall of Fame linebacker Junior Seau, the concerns of Gisele Bundchen about the damage football has done to husband Tom Brady and the issues raised by the movie “Concussion” are beginning to resonate with a game that has stubbornly resisted change.
It’s tackle football. Played by real men. And loved by red-blooded Americans.
But there’s a better way to tackle. There’s a new way to mitigate the risk of head trauma.
