wilson. Stuff the snark. Concussions are a serious issue. Glib conclusions w/o useful accurate info is useless. ngineer’s point is merely that a good portion of concussions are minor requiring just a few days care. Medium degree can require anywhere up to a couple of weeks depending on the person. Serious concussions can range from weeks to career ending depending on depth and any history of prior incidents. None of the 11 were diagnosed as serious. Protocols are mandated and followed.
In sum more care and research are necessary but I doubt incidence of concussions is markedly higher than when I played. As ngineer noted , the difference now is they are recognized, publicized and treated.
