I remember wearing the old suspension helmets back in the 1960s, heck I even remember the first Riddells that replaced our old "space helmets" with the ears that stuck out.
The fact is even today's helmets do not protect very well. After playing football from 7th grade into college I now seldom watch the game, especially the pro game. Too violent and too many thugs. Still many great people envolved but plenty of problems.
I prefer baseball for its' pace and excitement and I will always contend there are more steroids in any one college football conference than baseball ever saw!
