Agreed. And furthermore, if the protocol was followed correctly then why was the UNC terminated at the request of the NFLPA? And clearly a player grabbing his helmet and shaking his head after his head hitting the ground is highly suggestive of a head injury as the cause...

This says that the medical staff determined Tua didn’t have ataxia. That means under old or “new” protocol he’d have been cleared to return that day. What’s the basis for the claim that the change in protocol would’ve impacted outcome?

Alarming findings from NFL-funded NFL-LONG study: nearly 25% of former NFL players <60 surveyed reported a mild cognitive impairment (MCI) diagnosis. MCI is so rare before 60 that reliable population norms could not be found by the authors.⬇️ journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Full…

NCAA-funded study finds exposure to college football is associated with having a smaller hippocampus in midlife (average age 37). The hippocampus is a part of the brain essential for creating new memories. Finding has been replicated in multiple studies. liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.108…

If the Olympic team trials can be postponed for the safety of the athletes so can your high school practices/games, college practices/games, youth practices/games, every event should take athlete safety first. #athletictrainer #AT4all
