Concussions


      Many people debate the issue whether or not to have a standard concussion law. A study has shown that football players who have suffered three or more concussions have a tripled risk of depression.  In my judgement, athletes that have a concussion should have to sit out for a few games to let it heal.  Also, 31% of athletes with concussions are rushed back onto the field after injury.  Concussions can also cause serious problems later in your life.  Studies show several professional football players have committed suicide.  The autopsy results revealed brain damage.  So know after all this data, what do you think about concussions?


"You get a concussion, they have to take you out of the game.  So if you can hide it as much as possible, you pay for it the next day, but you'll still be able to stay in the game."
