This article was long
and it had some valid points about concussions. There were around 1,500 kids
that suffered from concussions in Missouri in 2012, however most of the kids
did return to the sport after two weeks. The article also talks about how
dangerous it is to play with a concussion. It could do more damage to the brain
because the first concussion softened the brain up and the second one (if you
still have the first one), can seriously injury your brain. The doctors are trying
to not send a kid back out to the field too early. If something major happens
like he gets another concussion and now the kid can no longer walk then the
doctor could get into trouble for it along with losing his job and having to
deal with the fact he sent a kid out too early and now he cannot walk that is
going to haunt him. For recent activities of concussions some parents are
forbidding their kids to play football. To prevent players from returning too
early some schools have computerized test that you take at the beginning of the
season and if they believe you have a concussion you go and take the test again
and they compare scores.
