Concussions in sports

[Ron]

Yet in the NHL the players fought every attempt to make helmets mandatory for years.

The players want to take zero responsibility for playing a game that anyone knows was dangerous. And where is the player responsibility for the style of play where they head hunt and attempt to do damage to their NHLPA brothers? And how about the NHLPA's responsibility?

Nope. Just sue and get the public to blame everything on the teams. (ie: Lindros would sue the NHL but how about the player that gave him the head shot?)

Oh, and my pet peeve in the CFL is all the players who lead with their head .... to torpedo tackle a player by blasting them on the head. But we'll see all of them sue the CFL in future years for their self inflicted damage ... and expect others to pay for the damage they inflict.

And the fans? When the League attempts rules to limit such damages ... the fans cry that the game is being ruined.

Thank you for some much-needed common sense perspective.
