This sort of logic was what allowed the players of decades prior to play through concussions leading to all sorts of issues now.
Players just viewed them as something to play through and doctors allowed it because nobody knew any better.
Things have changed
That’s not the logic I am applying here though if you read my posts. In no shape or form have I suggested doctors should turn a blind eye to his health. I am suggesting they give him 100% transparent advice on where he stands and then he himself can make that decision about his future. If that requires an independent doctor to remove any bias then that should be the case. However in no way am I suggesting doctors should turn a blind eye to it. They inform their patient with full details and just like anyone else consulting a medical professional, they then make their decision.
Yes poor decisions have been made in the past with clubs and doctors not being fully transparent with the players. I do not believe that will still be the case and is the case here.
