I realize concussions happen in many sports and with kids getting bigger they also happen more often and yes some probably even go undiagnosed. I stand by my recommendation that if you have a concussion, you don't play any sport for the balance of the season. Your brain needs time to recuperate. If the team doesn't have enough people to play perhaps the school shouldn't have a football team.
I don't know what schools spend on sports these days but it's a lot of money and my thought is that it could be spent more wisely on other things involving education rather than sports.
I don't know what the solution is but too many kids and young adults are suffering from sport related concussions these days and most of the incidents I hear about it's the second or third. In pro ball it's the second or third in a season. Right now it's a problem with no solution.
