Building Blocks 2.1

Does the physicality of football cause concussions or the way the player play?

Can we prevent concussions in football or are they inevitable?

How can we teach or player to hit people so that the concussion rate goes down without making them “soft”?

I came up with this idea because throughout the 20th century the concussion rate in football has been steady rising. This became a big topic in the NFL in college leading to a lot of rule changes. They tried to protect the player with new riles but these rules were not enough to lower the rate. This question is important because concussions are terrible for your brain. In the long run concussions can lead to minor and serious brain damage. Brian damage can leave some seriously messed up, and some cant not take the pain, so they commit suicide. In my research I will look for answers to question and why the concussion rates are so high. I will also search for research on how to improve the protect of the players and their health.
