RE: ADSactly Sports - Getting your "Bell Rung": The growing issue of concussions in sports

in #sports6 years ago

If you think the NFL is bad, just imagine what injuries rugby players get. But yeah, I can relate. When I played football many years ago, someone plowed their helmet into my neck when tackling me. I didn't get a concussion, but I had to make sure I didn't have to get a neck brace afterwards.

So true, rugby can be a very violent sport and the risk of head injuries can be very high. Although they do wear some protection, they don’t have the same as a full helmet.
