what a stupid statement! How can you compare the helmets worn in those sports to the ones worn in the various footy codes![]()
NFL players still get concussed even with their extra protective gear so CK does have a point to some degree
I think the stupid comment made was that helmets don't help, they just make it worse. Ridiculous.
the ones worn by afl/rugby player have been proven to not help concusions. union players only wear them to protect their ears.
on bell though, having spoken too a good mate who plays for melbourne i think he is well and truely within his rights to get compo. says he is a space cadet too talk too. which wasnt always the case, also look at all the BS compo claims from everyday mugs in the workplace. ive seen at least 5-6 vids of this blokes getting his bell rung! (

also, good on Melbourne footy club for handling it so well. they seem to be doing a lot right at the moment (besides getting belted on the w/e) although, maybe should have stopped him playing earlier from some reports!
