[ ] Football is a contact sport, and has long been associated with serious collision- related injuries. President Theodore Roosevelt called on early football enthusiasts to develop rules that reduced these injuries or face government restrictions. But in recent years, many sports medicine experts have commented on the growing number and severity of concussion injuries Some also noted that the speed and strength of football players had increased significantly in recent decades. And finally, some aspects of the game-including punt returns and spread offenses-increased the likelihood of high-speed contact, as well as the so-called "defenseless player," or blind spot collision. While both professional (NFL) and college (NCAA) rulemaking bodies had recently focused attention on reducing the growing number and severity of traumatic brain injuries, by far most extensive risk existed at the high school level.
