So is there an answer for this other than just do away with football and other contact sports? Is it realistic to develop helmets that can minimize concussions and head trauma enough that playing contact sports isn't a huge risk? The issue is football is ingrained in the culture of a huge part of the US, especially in the south and Midwest. It seems very difficult to just say "no more football" and get any results.
