Only an American would make that stupid fucking comment, so your question was answered

Did they ban American, British and other European players when their countries invaded Iraq? Oh wait..

what

I was conceived of your dad’s bussy.

There's a reason Qatar and Russia wanted to host World Cups, despite the event losing money. It is a symbol of national pride and power.

Ms. Sabalenka is right that banning Russian players didn't change the war in any meaningful way. Yet, allowing or disallowing their participation is also symbolic. While very unfair to individual players, who are caught in an impossible situation, Wimbledon had to come down on the side of Ukraine.

where are you from?

I didn’t say it was. I said her country aligned themselves with terrorists. Can’t really be surprised at that point.

how is that a tennis player's fault?

Oh well. Her country aligned itself with terrorists 🤷🏻‍♂️

Only thing that will help is to slow the impact. Those funky helmet covers actually do help. Nothing will stop concussions though except not hitting your head

Can’t stop neuronal shearing from sudden deceleration. The only reason they keep trying to up this stuff is so they can keep making billions off people wanting to see these guys kill themselves.

it would have to be something inside the skull but if it existed there would have been news about its development for many many years

give Tua Tagovailoa three of those, Dark Helmet's helmet with extra padding, and teach him how to tuck his chin ffs.

My understanding is that it applies light pressure to the jugular pushing more blood to the brain. The idea is that the additional blood increases the size of the brain and reduces the space between the brain and skull. By reducing the space between the brain and skull, you reduce the room that the brain can move and take damage.

This was supposed to be inspired by woodpeckers who can take repeated jarring blows to their head while not suffering the same kind of damage that human brains suffer.

This is the same tech that Luke Kuechly from the Carolina Panthers wore. He started wearing it after a bad concussion. He did suffer from subsequent concussions that eventually ended his career prematurely.

I also saw an article earlier this year, completely unrelated to the Q-collar, that indicated our understanding of woodpeckers and their brain saving mechanisms was incorrect.

Anyway, it sounded like an innovative tech like 6 years ago. I haven’t seen or heard much about it since but I believe Kuechly is still publicly supportive of the tech and has stated that he believes it extended his career.

yes

Didn't Luke Kuechly start wearing this and suffered a bad concussion like the first week?

Nothing will protect your brain from slamming around in your skull. It’s a futile effort.

That’s my theory on rugby vs football , they have to have more control because your head is just as exposed as the guy your tackling

I think we learned long ago that protective gear often results in more brain damage since fewer broken noses or fingers (in boxing) encourages more and harder contacts.

“The Q-Collar helps protect the brain from the damage caused by repetitive head impacts that can alter brain tissue. Athletes who were not wearing the Q-Collar were three times more likely to have significant changes in their brain tissue”

It restricts blood flow and keeps more blood in your head and somehow that helps prevent concussions.

q collar pushes bloood into head

Paywall. I'm a coach in youth sports and also have two boys. What is it and how does it protect the brain?

I thought it was going to be a sarcastic article about helmets.
