Fans divided as NFL makes controversial unexpected rule change that will affect game for decades to come...

For years, the league has attempted to increase player safety while still allowing for prime action on the field in an inherently aggressive -- and often dangerous -- sport.The NFL will allow the use of " Guardian Caps " during the upcoming 2024 season.

The caps -- which guard the head during hard helmet-to-helmet collisions -- were also required to be worn during practice by players who were not QBs or kickers.While some fans cheered the league for allowing players to further protect themselves, others believe it's a step too far and will create a laughable look for the NFL.

NFL executive vice president Jeff Miller said Guardian Caps have contributed to an almost 50 percent reduction in concussions for the position groups.I'm a four-time Olympic medallist but now am a wedding photographer after career change
