Christ, everything you wrote has been that you mind the protocol and now you don't mind the protocol? LMAO You're ability to contradict yourself is legendary. You're consistently inconsistent.
Quote:but the players should be able to opt out of the protocol at their own risk. I don't see a problem with allowing them a voice in their own medical care. If there is no ability opt out them it should be abandoned.
The player can opt out of the concussion protocol. If they don't like the protocol they can quit at any time. Playing football is voluntary. Remember?
