Letter: Helmets in football, but not in boxing?
If any football fans are unhappy with the new rules the NFL has put in place for this upcoming season regarding helmet to helmet contact to avoid head injuries, they can simple switch their sports allegiance to boxing. Boxing is a sport where opponents beat each other silly with deliberate blows to the head - with the intent to knock out their opponent with total disregard for concussions or permanent brain damage. And by the way, boxers do not wear helmets.
