  1. Great sportsmanship #15! 🥴 Let's hope no one trash talks you like that if you ever get hurt so bad you need to be on a stretcher.
    "Oh but he didn't know he was hurt" he was chilling on the ground longer then usual.

  2. Helmets in football are designed to protect players from direct impacts, but they are not sufficient to fully safeguard developing boys' skulls, particularly in middle and high school levels. The main reason for this is that while helmets can prevent skull fractures and some surface injuries, they do not fully protect the brain from the types of forces that cause concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a condition linked to repetitive brain trauma. In fact, research has shown that the force of impact during football play can lead to brain injuries even when the skull is not fractured.

    One critical factor is that the brain is still developing in adolescents and young adults, making it more vulnerable to injury. In a study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in 2020, it was highlighted that the brain continues to develop through adolescence and into the early twenties, particularly areas involved in decision-making, risk management, and impulse control. This development makes younger players more susceptible to the effects of brain injuries, as their brains may not fully absorb or manage the mechanical forces caused by repeated hits in contact sports like football.

    Moreover, while modern helmets are designed to reduce the likelihood of skull fractures, they do not prevent the rotational forces or linear accelerations associated with concussions and CTE. A study published in JAMA Neurology in 2019 demonstrated that repetitive head impacts from sports like football can lead to changes in the brain even if an athlete does not suffer a diagnosed concussion. These impacts, especially when experienced over multiple seasons, can accumulate and cause long-term neurological damage. Middle and high school players, with their developing skulls and brain structures, are especially vulnerable because their neck muscles are weaker than those of adults, which means they cannot stabilize their heads as effectively during collisions.

    The safety measures taken by schools and sports organizations, such as implementing head impact awareness programs, reducing full-contact practices, and encouraging proper tackling techniques, aim to reduce risks, but the inherent dangers of repetitive contact and trauma in football remain. Even with the best protective equipment, the reality is that helmets cannot prevent brain injuries caused by the cumulative effect of impacts over time, especially for growing players in high-impact sports like football.
