I think it inevitable .... helmets in soccer.

Princeton, NJ school district is believed to be the first to mandate helmets for soccer players.


 
With an ever growing awareness of both short term and long term effects of head injuries incurred in sports I believe it is inevitable that helmets will become required equipment more soccer players throughout the land.   In a way, it's common sense - we require shin guards to protect the lower legs.  While it is not and either / or proposition, it does stands to reason it is more important to protect the brain than it is to protect the shins, doesn't it?
