Cyril Wecht Quotes on Football (2 Quotes)

A football helmet gives you an awful lot of protection, ... but you don't have to be a doctor or an engineer or even a football player to realize that the helmet does not block out all the measured force produced when some 300-pound player with a hand the size of a Christmas ham whacks you in the head dozens of times a game, season after season.

I'm not suggesting for one moment that we stop professional football. If I said that, I better leave the country, ... I think more attention should be paid by scientists and biomechanical engineers in coming up with a better helmet.
