Concussion Type Headbands ???
Has the NFHS ever come out with a rule, or interpretation, that states that concussion type headbands do not fall under equipment color restriction rules (similar to equipment color restriction rule exception for knee braces)?
I thought that they did, but I can't find any references. Did I dream this, or is this an IAABO interpretation (that I also can't find any reference to)? https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon...._AC_US218_.jpg |
Well our state told us that these were illegal. I do not think the NF has directly addressed this situation.

Such items are not permitted unless the state association has granted the wearer an exemption for either medical or religious reasons.
|
We've been told if its for medical reasons that they are allowed.
|
If I'm told it's for a medical reason, they can play. Not a battle I'm going to fight with respect to having "proper documentation." Let the state deal with it after the game.

You need permission for protective equipment?
If this is for someone who HAS a concussion they shouldn't be playing anyhow. If it's to prevent a concussion then why ban it? If you can only have one only if you had a concussion in the past isn't that like telling a catcher or umpire they can't have a mask until after they've been hit in the face once? |
Not fair or I think correct to say that football helmets or this type of headgear don't prevent concussions. It is perfectly reasonable and correct to say they don't prevent ALL concussions. That is very different from saying that headgear cannot reduce the frequency and severity of concussions.
I fully expect that gear manufacturers are using the science to reduce injuries even if they will never prevent all injuries. |
