Concussions continue to be a concern in the NFL. Here’s why it’s time for the NFL to consider rugby style tackling.
In the NFL today, one of the hottest topics of conversation is concussions. It’s easy to understand why. The number of individuals who suffer from brain trauma while playing professional football continues to grow at alarming rates. Further, once a player is done playing, the side effects of concussions do not stop, as we have seen with players such as Dave Duerson and Junior Seau. This leads me to believe that it is time for the NFL to start re-evaluating how players should be able to tackle.
