Concussions...

     I think that when people get concussions, people should have to stay out for the rest of the season.  Because, when someone gets a concussion and they go back in they just  have a bigger chance of committing suicide and getting very high brain damage.A study has shown that football players who have suffered three or more concussions have tripled risk of desperation. Another thing I want to express is that coaches should not be able to let their players compete with just recovering from a concussion. Concussions have affected so many people that it's too hard to count
  “I’m fortunate to have found out early, in 1990, just two years after I retired, that I have neurological damage. I try to manage it. I know what can trigger headaches and try to avoid it. I have short term memory problems, so I make a special effort to remember people and names. I have to work harder, but it’s important.”

–Hall of Fame linebacker, Harry Carson
