Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4648859, member: 5798"] Being a person that is supremely interested and concerned about the safety of ALL student-athletes, I see this from the opposite end of the spectrum. To me, If the headgear those players were wearing in practice gave them even a modicum of protection, I would have authorized them to be worn in games. The headgear in question would not affect any opposing player whatsoever, nor would it give the wearer any unfair advantage. [ATTACH type="full"]88151[/ATTACH] IBA Sting There's an old saying in football......any play good enough to run once, is good enough to run twice...meaning if the head ear was deemed to provide protection in practice, it would also do so in games. Interesting that the people that made the final decision never suffered a concussion or any type of head trauma, similar to face masks worn by players (Aaliyah) who sustained a broken nose. The mask has no impact on opposing players. Just one fan's opinion. :oops: [/QUOTE]
