The NFL has introduced a new piece of safety equipment called the Guardian Cap. These foam-padded caps are designed to reduce head injuries, cutting the risk of concussions by up to 50% during practices. While some players must wear them during training, their use in actual games is still optional. This has sparked discussions among fans and players about their appearance and the risks of the sport.

Your Task:

  • Learn More:Find out about Guardian Caps and their current use in the NFL. Look into how they work and why they're important for player safety.

  • Discuss: Talk with a friend about what you've learned. Discuss whether you think Guardian Caps should be used more in football games or not.

  • Express Your View: Pick a side—should Guardian Caps be mandatory in games or not? Write a persuasive letter or create a flyer explaining your stance, using facts from your research to support your opinion.
