Week 5 - Professional Blogger Response

In response to GIZMODO - http://gizmodo.com/5847896/new-football-mouthpieces-measure-how-hard-players-are-getting-their-bells-rung

The blog post does an excellent job of defining not only what the piece of technology does, but also how it affects the game as well as it's importance to the players involved.

However, one line in particular struck me as a bit unbelievable and weak. "Women's lacrosse is only second to football as the most common sport where concussions occur and it hasn't been closely studied,".  This quote is contradictory as well as questionable at best for truth of content, as it doubts itself by saying the statement it is making has not been closely studied.  This makes it very possible to be a false statement.

Aside from that, it was a very well-written and informative blog post relating closely to mine in that we both talk about innovations that are revolutionizing the game of football, whether it be in the case of safety or in the case of inbounds vs. out of bounds.
