Madden 12 to address concussions.

But they are 100% wrong in how to address concussions in regards to youth. Until a thug/Bully mentality is addressed with COACHES, nothing changes.

Coaches pull the 'get back in there or you're a pussy' bull poo way too much. The kids safety needs to be #1. Too many times kids either get back on the field way too soon or still injured. Why? Because the coach will ridicule the poo outta them.

Madden will never influence a young football player like a coach will. I know from first hand experience many of these kids from all walks of life have no father figure and turn to coach to have one. Teach them to be tough for sure, but teach them to be smart as well.

you just want a no fun league!1!12

You're right. The biggest problem with this push the NFL Is making is it is basically changing the entire way players think about when to play the game almost, but they're only doing it at the very top level. That's not going to be that effective; it's actually going to cause quite a bit of resentment imo. Change also needs to occur at lower levels as well.

Here is the bottom line...money. The owners are going to pussify the league because they aren't going to keep paying out more and more millions to retired players.
