Active Sport Concussions

                                Active Sport Concussions 


     Do you think active sport players should be able to play shortly after they have had a concussion? I think that they should be able to go back to the game. It is likely that the other players won't tackle them as hard. Maybe they should wait like two months before they go back to the game, but after that they should be fine.  That is just my opinion, but here are some facts about it.

     A study has shown that football players who have suffered three or more concussions have a tripled risk of depression. 31% of athletes with concussions are rushed back onto the field after their injury. Several professional football players have committed suicide! Autopsy results revealed that the brain had injury done to it.

     That is my opinion and some true facts about active sports concussions. What is your opinion on the subject?
