My favorite line:
"And with their heads uncovered, football players might be more attractive to endorsers."
Perfecto!

ROFLMAO...#1 football players aren't struggling getting endorsements. #2 They won't be so attractive when their faces get smashed, bruised and teeth get knocked out.

Good to know that the website has a 24/7 thread checker! I wouldn't have posted it if I knew it was already posted. Brian needs to delete this.

Two former Michigan guys are quoted. Appropriate enough, in an article about helmets, to quote players who wore the most recognized helmets in sports.
No helmets favors a finesse game, and spread offenses, such as Michigan's. Not so?

It's called RUGBY, and most colleges and universities do offer it. It's not well financed. It's not a big draw of tens of thousands fans (yet). I attracts minimum player financial endorsements, since there's no major professional leagues and limited national leagues. The writer of the article might wish to execute more research in the UK, Australia or South Africa for example.
