So we shouldn't wear seatbelts? It is ok to drink and drive? Why is headgear mandatory but not a mouthpiece? Save your ears but not your teeth and brains? Whether or not we like it, the rules for returning to competition after a head injury are getting more and more strict. We mandate a mouthpiece for kids wearing braces so why not apply it to everyone? CWB, the old days of having to have a legitimate reason to call for an injury time out are gone. If a mouthpiece comes out then the officials can ding the competitor for a INJ TO and if the do it again the opponent will get choice. I guess none of you are concerned about the rise in head injuries and post concussion syndrome...or dental damage...
