Statistics like these are why people are giving up football...

Speaking at the Head, Neck, and Spine committee meeting during the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, the NFL got hit hard with some news:

• Reported concussions up 16% year over year.
• 9% of NFL players actually reported concussions this year.
• Reported training camp concussions were up 73%.

Nine per team over the season, etc.

People are giving up football because of this, and there's no way you can make it safer.

None.
