The NFL hired non-neurologists to minimize and discredit the findings of independent neurologists because of money. They did it to save money, shift blame elsewhere, and because they know people like you will eat it right up.
The fact that you think concussion protocol is nonsense just emphasizes the fact that you claim "people know the risks" and yet you support those who hide/minimize the risks you claim people do or should know. People knew next to nothing about the long-term effects of concussions years ago, so the fact that you think you have it all figured out and that the intricacies of the human brain are just easy peezie simple is a laugh.
As usual you think I just have it out for the NFL because I hate rich people and am a communist or something.
I have never coached pee wee. But I know in high school and college that coaches and trainers (college) go through all the risks an read the information provided by equipment manufactures. There is a long list of what can happen while using that equipment .
I don't think you have it out for anyone. It's natural to care for another person's well being. I just feel like all we can do is tell them the worst case scenario and let them do as they wish. I care for others as well. But you know when you tell some people to not touch the hot stove they just gotta try it out. It's their choice.
They should he providing info, and recommendations, and if the professional player decides to go against those recommendations then they are accepting the risk. I also think there shouldn't be any chance to sue if they go against that recommendation.
