Concussion Expert TEARS DOWN Gary Bettman

Yahoo sports posted a very interesting paper on the devastating consequences brought by the absence of clear protocole. They interviewed Nowinski, who is the co-founder and CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation and ask him how the NHL was managing the issue. The expert tears down Gary Bettman in his answer:

"I expect a top sports league like the NHL to always be at the cutting edge and constantly staying on the cutting edge so any time they’re behind what other leagues are doing including the spotters’ ability to – having spotters every game and their ability to interact with the bench or players, any time you’re behind you’re in the wrong place. Those who can throw more resources at this problem need to. Frankly, the conversation about long-term effects in general has been misleading from the NHL, so I’ve been very disappointed in them."

As reported by Yahoo, the only things Nowinski wants is the NHL to admit that there’s a link between head injuries and the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
