Oh I know better helmets are not the cure all.
But, new advancements in protection are greatly welcomed and in use.

Players of course are the ones who choose to play a very dangerous game and in recent years we all can see that the damage caused by years of violent collisions is receiving a lot more media coverage. Especially when 43 year old mega star Junior Seau took his life just 3 years after he retired.
Obviously better retirement health care must happen. Greed is not good. NFL teams should take excellent care of those people who made them big profits year after year and also contributed to their franchises that keep growing in value.
Players and owners need each other.
