He’s making a joke about how you say you “could care less how it looks” when what I assume you mean is that you “couldn’t care less how it looks.”

He’s being a silly goose. 

Didn’t even catch that. Thanks!

I was only being slightly tongue-in-cheek. I honestly believe the way to make the sport safer is to get rid of the helmets. The padding is a double-edged sword, it makes contact less violent on the body, but paradoxically enables the players to use their bodies more violently.

Take special teams as an example. You take the pads off people, you really gonna tell me two full-grown men will sprint directly at each other until they collide? But that's every kickoff and punt return with pads on.

I don't know.  You and I might not.  But a lot of these athletes are wired to have little regard for their own personal safety.  I don't think taking away protections is going to make them safer.  That's ultimately asking the players to solve the issue.  They won't IMO.  You have to protect them from themselves.

Oh yeah, there's a lot of logic to that.
