Interestingly, just days before the NFL's decision to suspend the
use of impact sensors was announced, my local paper, The Boston Globe, came out with a powerful editorial in which it urged college, high school, and recreational leagues in contact and collision sports to consider mandating
use of impact sensors, or, at the very least, experimenting with the technology, to alert the sideline personnel to hits that might cause concussion, and to track
data on repetitive head impacts, which, a growing body of peer - reviewed evidence suggests, may result, over time, in just as much, if not more, damage to an athlete's
brain, as a single concussive blow, and may even predispose an athlete to concussion.
