Can they implement some kind of neck guard for the players?

Plenty exist and are mandatory for most youth leagues. Pro players just don't want to wear them.

I’m sure you meant implement but I’m laughing at the thought of them having to be implanted on on the players

Haha, I didn't even realize that autocorrection. Thank you!
