[QUOTE="JBlood, post: 436353, member: 16"] This whole issue of traumatic brain injury could be the end of football unless drastic action is taken. Now that head-to-head contact is illegal, the simple penalty would be 1) immediate game disqualification and 2) No return to competition until the head-injured player returns to competition. This won't eliminate the argument of "clean" hits from "cheap" hits, but would open the possibility of ending a career by delivering such a hit, just as receiving such a hit can end a career. This won't alter the brain injuries that linemen suffer from collisions at the snap of the ball, but it would be a start. [/QUOTE]
