Concussions:
A Few thoughts on this one…
The NHL has implemented a new concussion policy and has received criticism for implementing it in this case, whereas the NFL has received much criticism for doing the opposite. No easy answers with concussions, but in my opinion, best to err on the side of player safety there are many games to be played but a player has but one brain.
