Gonna put it out there--soft helmets like the one worn by Caleb Daniel should become mandatory for all players effective immediately with even stricter adjudication of leading with the head and head-high contact. For me, it is the modern-day version of the mouth guard debate: it might feel strange at first, and some will bitterly resent it, but (pardon the pun) it's a no-brainer to me. It's not like footballers play with their heads and their mouths. I'm ready to put up with an awkward aesthetic until it becomes normal if it saves families this sort of irreversible pain and gutting emptiness.
