Why is it with concussion that we have had to put into place protocols where doctors can overrule players/coaches?
Essentially because the player will always say that he can play. These protocols are now in place to protect the players from themselves and from their own poor judgement.
Why then with other injuries is it left completely up to the player to make the call?
Don't we think that maybe the same principle might apply? That players might put their hand up to play when it's actually in their best interest to rest?
