It isn't a "union" contract. It is a collective bargaining agreement. The owner's and the player's union agreed to the contract.

Prove it. The two sources you cited dispute your opinion, including the NFL itself.

So why are you so against players making a decision for themselves? Why do you feel they should be lorded over by a policy that's only in place to stop a lawsuit? The concussion rules will only force more defenders going low. Even Burfict admits he will have to go low now. Less concussions but more knees. Great job lol
The concussion protocol is in place for concussed soccer players in elementary school because it is the standard medical treatment for return to play in concussed players. It was developed by neurologists for the patient's benefit, not the NFL. The NFL adopted what the doctors developed. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
The concussion protocol is a stipulation of employment. Like some employers requiring steel toed boots or random drug screens. If the player wants to opt out of the concussion protocol he can quit any time and go work some place else because, like you wrote, playing football is voluntary.
