Title: Perhaps the most important NFL news in years
Post by: ChadTower on February 28, 2007, 01:32:01 pm

NFL Concussion Committe chairman quits (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2782445)

I've been following this issue for a couple of years now.  The NFL has been outwardly ---smurfing--- its players in the ass for decades when it comes to head injuries.  This guy has been one of the primary asswipes, constantly covering up injuries, making false studies, putting a nice public face on exploitation of head injuries among NFL players.  Even when the entire medical community looks at his conclusions and says "dude, you're a ---smurfing--- liar", he has still proceeded with the "it's safe for players with a concussion to go right back in the game" line of ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---.

This guy should be in prison.

Other than that I have no strong feelings on the subject.

returning to play after a concussion "does not involve significant risk of a second injury either in the same game or during the season

The dude was a tool of the NFL Commissioners office.  While a scum bag for sure,  I am sure the issue goes way up the chain.   He said what others above him told him to say.
