Au contrair mon frair ~ It was implied that a concussion was nothing to worry about.

" The NFL was telling these players, if not directly then through the actions of coaches, physicians paid for by teams and by the league, and its culture, that, you know, it's a concussion. You'll be fine. Now GET BACK OUT THERE AND PLAY! "


Furthermore there has to be an assumption of at least average intellectual capacity. E.G. If it takes more than a few advil and you have to go to the hospital.... its serious.


The grounded truth.... They all knew, they all knew quite well that they were risking their health and safety each and every time they stepped foot on the field.

They also knew they were not going to make that kind of money ANYWHERE off the field. Greed and want drove them to suit up every Sunday.

Just like with the tires.... If I am concussed and a coach tells me "just get back on the field, you'll be alright"... Im telling him where he can stick it.

Ive had it happen to me on the football field before, in High School, 16 years old. I staggered my self off the field and refused to go back in.
