Protecting Players: Following Concussion Protocol is a Must
I was recently asked by Nick Rishwain of Experts.com to provide feedback on their recent article NFL Investigating Panthers for possible breach of concussion protocol. I appreciate Experts.com asking me to contribute to this discussion.
Armchair quarterbacks and experts alike have recently questioned whether the Carolina Panthers followed the NFL’s concussion protocol in Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints. The incident is garnering extra attention as the possible concussion occurred to star quarterback Cam Newton. The incident comes amid growing attention to concussion protocol and litigation from players who are suffering long-term injury from repeated head trauma.
The play involving Cam Newton happened on second down during the fourth quarter of a close wild card game. He attempted to walk to the sideline but fell to the ground and had to be helped off the field. The Panthers brought in their backup quarterback, Derek Anderson, for third down, while Cam Newton was evaluated in the Panthers’ medical tent on the sideline. After sitting out third down, Newton returned to the field for the Panthers’ next set of downs.
There seems to be no limit to the affect that technology and the digital age has on our lives. At the increasing pace that technology advances, it is no wonder that the legal world is changing dramatically. There is no more obvious of an example of the effect technology has on litigation than in divorces, and much of the technology is often used for nefarious purposes.
