Concussions

         What do you think about concussions caused by contact sports? Well, here is what I think.  I conjecture that if an athlete gets a concussion the coach should not be able to put that player back in right away.  The horrible thing is that 31% of athletes with concussions are rushed back onto the field after injury.  A utterance that I think should be a rule is that the athlete should have to wait at least one month to be able to play sports again.  I think that the helmets should have more padding in them than they already do so then that might help to prevent concussions.   One fact is a study has shown that football players who have suffered 3 or more concussions have a tripled risk of depression.  Another fact is that several professional football players have committed suicide.  Autopsy results revealed brain damage.  

        "You get a concussion, they've got to put you out of the game.  So if you can hide it and conceal it as much as possible, you pay for it the next day, but you'll be able to...stay in the game."- Washington Redskins fullback Mike Sellers.
