I read an article about brain damage in Professional Football players who play in the NFL.


The tackling in football is becoming a colossal safety issue, because of a brain disease called CTE.
CTE is created when a person gets to many major blows to the head.  One time an autopsy was done on 91 pro football players and 87 of them had the disease.  What can prevent this?


Many people insult Pro football players because of the dangers.  The coaches on the other hand, wanted to keep their players safe so they have been working on several safety projects. some of them are limiting most bodily contact and tackling in practice and putting several medical people ready to respond to any immediate injuries.  



I think it is good that people are trieng to protect the players and making the sport safer.
