Lots of big compensation cases on the books and hanging around
American football paid out and settle to get it out of the way.
Did see a report about he lighter ball are more dangerous due to the speed they can travel at.
Yes hate to think what the game will be like in ten years time.
Hopefully Most of on here will be in a home just looking forward to a bed bath by then.

No.
If it happens in the professional game, then amature football will become it's own entirely separate sport.

Sport is dangerous....(well apart from Golf and tennis which is BENT)... but rewading... you are never going to nullify the dangers so it's all about balance.. I feel the balance is about right in most sports... take heading out and that's it... the game is finished...

More research needs to be done
The older players suffering ... Astle , Nobby Stiles , Martin Peters etc are all from the era of heavy balls ... so need to find out what has happened to players post then up to the lighter balls of the modern day.
Suspect there will be more restrictions on small children but heading will continue in the senior game.
The bad head injuries (Mason himself, Raul Jiminez) have been head clashes.
These are accidental but think there will be more of a crackdown on elbowing cunts like BENTEKE who should have another dozen games added to his ban.

More research needs to be done. A few high-profile old footballers in the news doesn't make it 'common' as such - and it's not unique to them. Once numbers are known, more research needs to be done about differences in balls, frequency of heading etc.
It's not as simple as "ban heading". I hope!
