Undeniably, football is one of the roughest games ever conceived, and gives everyone, from mere spectators to the players themselves, a unique kind of excitement. Americans love football so much, it has even been dubbed as the country’s favorite pastime. Unfortunately, football is commonly associated with injuries, more particularly concussions, and most studies about head injuries have used football players as subjects. Concussions are common among football players, since the heat of the action often drives them to use their bodies, sometimes their heads, to score a goal for their team. Helmets might be of great help in reducing the risk of a skull fracture, but not so much for concussions: some of these might even come with a warning that not all helmets can guarantee total protection from severe head or neck injuries. Luckily, there have been increasing technological efforts on ensuring the reduction of concussion risks among football players.
