Whatever Happened to the Pro Cap?
Remember Mark Kelso, the safety for the Bills in the 80s and 90s who wore a Pro Cap on top of his helmet to prevent concussions? Given the concussions are a big deal now, with the whole John Kitna thing, why haven't more people adopted it? Is it ineffective, bulky and/or heavy? Or is it because their website is out of date?
Or maybe the stigma of having a slow white safety using the product isn't such a great trendsetter.

Your anti-white comment is sickening and factually incorrect. Mark was just as fast as most other Safeties were during his era. He had 30 INTs (3rd most in Bills history, and an NFL high 19 between 1988-90), 8 fumble recoveries, and 2 defensive TDs in his 99 game NFL career, which is good by any measure.
If he was black, he wouldn't have had to play at a place like William and Mary either. Anti-white discrimination in sports is real, and the Mark Kelso story is just one of many that prove it.
If you want to see a really ugly pic of someone wearing a Pro Cap, try this one:
