    I like the part where the Miami coach said, "I would never put a player in harm's way."
    Dude, it's football. Every game is like being in a car crash.

      Literally, could happen to anyone. Think he's just a bit scared of the repercussions that can happen if something serious or in the future will happen. If im that player I'm 1000% playing in the game because those are my guys. But you need to have better evaluations.. and guidelines that they the player or doctor have no control over. I.E. have the NFL know the situation and to take care of the kid.

    Dude was stumbling and shaking his head walking of Sunday. NFL just based on those images should have not let him back in. Dolphins saying it was his back should be ashamed, everybody else with the limited knowledge we have on the concussions, could see that he was some sort of concussed.

    My ex-wife argued with me that our son should NEVER be allowed to play football in school when he gets older because of the danger and risks. I argued that there are risks and dangers in a lot of things you do; including and especially mental, and if he grows for that to become a dream of his to let him play. After seeing Tua last night, my viewpoint has become way harder to defend to even myself. I’m sure a lot of parents out there feel the same after seeing that.

    • @zeromagnum2811
      @zeromagnum2811 Год назад

      The fault in that was the dolphins letting him back in the Bills game and letting him play thursday. football has been going a long time and a small minority of players have had really bad long term injuries from it. Its not everyone. Sometimes it happens because in anything there is risk. Anytime anyone gets into a car there's a risk of some drunk fool running a light and killing someone. There's a risk in everything just about it. Living by what ifs isn't really the way to go either. But the situation in this case was he was obviously concussed. anyone that had watched football or pro wrestling long enough to see concussed people. that was a concussion and the Dolphins either lied about it to override protocol or were incompetent in diagnosing it. He wasn't recovered from the previous concussion so the second time the injury was worsened. But there are a large majority of guys that went 14 years or more with barely a scratch playing the game. What happened with Tua is more of one of the freak cases that happened because of that teams negligence.

    Bart Scott hit this out the park!
    When Tua stumbled, shook his head repeatedly, grabbing his head/facemask. I immediately went back to my last concussion, I did the same things! It was as if I could actually feel that pressure in my head, the foggyness, the spinning (of the field). EVERY football pIayer knows this is what a concussion looks like. I also lectured on traumatic brain/spinal cord injuries. When i heard he was playing 4 days later, i was angry and very concerned all day yesterday because I knew if he took another hit his symptoms would come back WORSE than on Sunday, even if the hit was LIGHTER than the hit on Sunday (Just like Bart said). SIS (Second Impact Syndrome) can result in death... basically it's getting two concussions close together which leads to swelling of the brain. Thank God this did not happen. This made me sick to my stomach because it did not have to happen. The desire to win a football game was more important that his health because EVERYONE on that field knew he had a concussion.
    And for those people (some were former players) who said it might be a back injury or spasm! Back spasm? When someone gets a back spasm the pain is sudden and intense, there ain't no walking, no moving around (except for writhing in pain), there is no standing up from wherever you are, it's impossible because you can't move, the pain is so intense. You could have offered me a million dollars to get up and walk around from the chair I was in the last time i had a sudden back spasm and you would have had to give that money to someone else! Nonsense!

      That's overly dramatic. If it does affect his career, it's his fault for not getting rid of the ball. Also, he wasn't man enough to take the hit. He was retreating like one of those little mice trying to get away from the cat. Had he just leaned into the hit or lowered his shoulder into the defender like a grown man, this would not have happened because his head wouldn't have whipped against the turf. You're in a contact sport! Man up and take the hit!

    I think it was more of the whiplash that caused the concussion than the actual head hitting the ground. He got swung pretty fast. Like they're saying, it's a lot easier to get a second concussion within a few days of the previous one. It didn't look like he hit the ground that hard. But either way he shouldn't have been in the game in the first place. I hope he's going to be okay.

    • @thomashoad3433
      @thomashoad3433 Год назад

      This is exactly it. Bart explained it perfectly: the concussion happens when the head has a sudden stop, but the brain keeps moving and crashes into the side of the skull. So when Tua was brought down against the Bills, you see his head whip back and forth. When his head hit the ground and had a sudden stop, his brain would have smashed against the back of his skull.
      Bauer was working on a piece of experimental equipment a few years ago that went around a player's neck and applied mild pressure so that there would be a larger blood barrier between the brain and skull, thus theoretically limiting the potential for concussions. This was tested in hockey and football players and unfortunately was not as effective as they hoped and never really caught on.
