And still the best part is this is being decided by something that has never had a long term study on football players. How many guys are losing the ability to earn a living over either fear of supposed affects later or the inability to play and then losing their job because of an unproven protocol based on nothing football related.
Let them lose their minds. It's their head. Why do you care so much about their decisions? I would rather have a league of head hunters than a league with guys going low to avoid a penalty or some random dude holding them out for weeks
You've already stated you don't care if the players get concussions so don't pretend like you give a shit about their knees, either. The "random dude" holding them out for weeks is an independent neurologist.
Since you asked, answer your own questions; how many players of lost their jobs over the fear of supposed affects later? How many have lost their job because of an unproven protocol? Let's see . . . 0 + 0 (um, carry the 0) = 0.
Why are you pissing and moaning about an employer requiring medical clearance before an injured employee can resume work? It happens everyday outside of the NFL.
