I agree! But ive seen some violent headshots in Rugby and Aussie Rules. Im just wondering if those guys are coming out with the same issues..
The town I live in has a lot of ex-pro Rugby League players and the biggest problems they all seem to have in retirement is with Knee & Back injuries.
A couple of players have retired recently due to concussions though. Lance Hohaia never really recovered from being punched twice in the head (one whilst he was already knocked out) and Daryll Goulding took an accidental shoulder to the head he never really recovered from.
In those cases helmets would have probably helped but there's other occasions where they would have caused problems.
