I hope it is the start of changing how the game is taught specifically the tackle and use of the head in tackling.
I would be interested in seeing numbers on concussions in high school football v rugby.
While I am the first to admit these sports aren't too similar they are in as much as each sport requires an individual to tackle another individual. The way the tackle is carried out in football is, IMO, poor.
Football is a good game that needs to take a look at the basic skills of the game and how these skills are taught.
