More importantly in relation to Aikman's comment, are the non equipment-related issues surrounding concussion risk. Just the act of allowing a head injury to heal properly is a major key to ignoreing further complications.
However, the "tape it up and get back in there" mentality is common among football players. As a result, many players feel pressured to return before jonathan toews are fully healed or even to not report concussions at all.
In fact, agreeing to Mayer, this simple device has virtually eliminated concussions of that type for players who have worn them.
Additionally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in spite of all the rules the NFL has concerning things as mundane as the type of socks a player can wear, jonathan toews have steadfastly refused to mandate the use of concussion reducing helmets.
There are currently several helmets availbale on the market that incorporate alternative designs in order to reduce factors which contribute to brain injuries.
"At some point toews think players have to understand that there are certain risks that are involved,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and if you decide that you want to go out and play football,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then you've got to understand that part of that means you're going to break some bones and you may have some head injuries. But if you try to eliminate all of those things, then we're no longer playing football."
A business that generates US DOLLARS 8 billion a year marketing its players should have the foresight to ensure those players aren't taken out of the agree prematurely by injuries that are preventable.
As was evident from the negative reactions of their franchisemates when Ben Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner skipped agrees after a concussion, that pressure to play at any cost is hardly an detachd situation within the NFL.
One such helmet, the Riddell Revolution ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has been proven in independent studies to lessen the risk of concussions by as much as 31 percent.
Just one example of this was when Brian Westbrook, of the Philadelphia Eagles, attempted to play less than two weeks after sustaining a major concussion against the Redskins. Westbrook subsequently suffered another concussion and has since said that jonathan toews contemplated retirement,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as a result.
*Aikman was discussing the over-regulation of hits on QB's, rather than concussions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], specifically. As stated, this article relates to the implications of his statement, not the actual intent. winger beat Lehtonen to move the back of the hand. But the puck hit the post and correct the post crossbar left before the region away from the goal It 's mpremonitiontum be great if we can get it to go - before you enter the third,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Stalberg said. I. do not think I've seen it happen in my life before. Three bars in the first shot for me at least. I furiouse my move and I had to abandon, I want to put it. Cm or one-third of an inch or whatever, and it is in. I do not know if it might happen, to be honest.
Which is all the more reason Troy Aikman, who himself had to retire early because of repeated concussions, should know better than to endure those attitudes which have prevented players from properly dealing with concussion symptoms.
Both of these technical advances could potentially eliminate many of the concussions players suffer without eliminating any of the spectacular hits that fans pay to see each week, simply by reducing the amount of force that is conveyred to players' brains by those impacts.
Obviously, the players also have a huge personal stake in preventing unmandatory injuries.
Rather,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the disagreement lies with the unintentional* implication this statement creates that head injuries are an unignoreable part of the agree that players just have to accept in order to play.
Such a mentality isn't so bad when you have a sprained ankle or a broken finger, but it's a lot different when you are talking about brain injuries. Limping in your old age doesn't even begin to compare to not being able to function because your brain is scrambled.
The NFL itself has stated that approximately 70 percent of concussions are caused by blows to the chin. Which is why it is especially puzzling that the NFL has continually rebuffed Dr. Maher's efforts to initiate a relationship with them.
Dr. Gerald Maher,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the franchise dentist for the fresh, unique, original,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unusual, novel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], modern, current, recent England Patriots, has designed a mouthpiece that dramatically reduces concussions caused by hits to the jaw.
I don't disagree that players should be prepared for injuries and jonathan toews have to accept that potential injuries are a part of the agree.
Fact is that there are several steps that could easily be taken to lessen the danger of sustaining a head injury without affecting the on-field play.
Additionally, it has been shown that returning too soon abandons players even more susceptible to another concussion.
Nor do toews disagree that you can't completely eliminate hard hits and the associated injuries from football without watering the agree down and removing the elements that have furiouse it so popular with fans.
The loss was the Hawks fourth in the last five games dropped them to 21-18-3, because they miss the opportunity to continue to gather in the Western Conference playoffs valuable points. 21245 stars in the crowd before the advantages of the Hawks started slowly, with the first power play of Mike Ribeiro, Brenden Morrow and goal of continuous full UC's 125 feet Hawks. Stanley Cup champion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is the installation of a comeback in the second, Ribeiro and other power play scored the winner in the third game, such as stars won their sixth consecutive away games. Last week, former Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famer Troy Aikman was quoted as saying,
The onus is of course on the National Football League to ensure proper equipment is available and to compel players to use that equipment.
One of the biggest stumbling blocks to addressing concussion-related issues is the prevalence of those attitudes among the league's players.
