[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1391133, member: 588522"] Personally, I think we need to educate kids/parents on the almost certain risk of brain injuries. Like a lot more. However I dont see how this is an issue if kids want to play. Isn't it everyones choice to do what they want, so long as they aren't hurting others. I'm not against safety improvements, and being honest kickoff's are one of the lamest parts of the game, but if we ever get to the point of not altering major aspects of the game, I think some line needs to be drawn. I guess at that point you could argue guys like Hernandez might've not done what he did if his brain hadn't been damaged, but I'm not sure anyone will ever be able to prove such things. If those involved understand the risk and almost certain consequences, then who am I to say they shouldn't play? [/QUOTE]
