New Rules this year in Football

With football season over it's time to look back. One positive thing I really thought was a good rule football added this year was the new concussion rule. The rule states if a player suffers a concussion or severe blow to the head they can not return to play until they are cleared by doctor. I think this is good because to many times have players returned to soon or there coach may have talked them into playing when they should have not and there still hurt and get hurt again, it also can lead to affects later in life to these players. So I think this is great because it takes the discussion out of the coach and players hands.

i agree this is a real good rule to have. I know when i was playing sports all of the time, i got hurt and played a few times when i probably shouldnt have. Go back to my senior year i messed my knee up pretty bad and had fluid sucked out of it every week. Well when it came down to senior night and playoffs i was dressed and playing. Needless to say i have not played soccer since because my knee bothers me way to much...
