Default Football players not taking concuasions seriously

I meant to post this last week

If anybody is a football fan and happen to see the Eagles VS. Washington game on Sept.21st. Eagles running back lesean McCoy got a helmet to helmet hit in the game...he went out and after a few plays he was fighting the coaches for his helmet back to go back into the game but they made him go and take the impact test then he came back....
But ever since then he hasnt been that good...looks like he is running in slow motion, his cuts aren't sharp and quick anymore,

Now for me being a HUGE Eagles fan this worries me and people were blaming it on the line but the backup Darren sproules had a couple of huge runs so it must be him...

Do you think he has a concussion???

And I also saw the Michigan college QB was hit and was clearly dazed and they didn't even take him out for a Impact test...Michigan said that tbey shouldnt of done that...

But do you think they done take concussions seriously?

College and Pro football have a looooong way to go regarding concussions. They think the ImPACT test is enough. Unless the players decide to be concerned about their own brain health, not much will change.

There is hope for some. Check out http://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-...908-story.html
