In case you haven’t been following, Antonio Brown has been generating headlines of late from Oakland Raiders training camp with everything surrounding his foot injuries and controversies related to his unapproved Schutt AiR Advantage headpiece that he’s worn since 2009.
Brown’s former helmet preference is now over 10 years old in the eyes of league approval standards and rules and regulations have been put into place to enhance the safety of players’ heads.
This means that not only does Brown have to upgrade his helmet choice, but the entire league also has to step out of its comfort zone to upgrade on the basis of safety, per league rules, and make the change as well.
