Skate helmets lessen shock leading to concussions, even if they are not tested/rated for that. Football's issue is different as the helmet leads to more/harder head-first hits.

Also football helmets are designed for multiple hits to the same location... where as bike/skate helmets are designed to absorb a single blow and be discarded.
