When we started hearing stories of former players AND current ones accusing the NFL of not doing enough to prevent concussions and Attorneys started getting into the mix??? It was on!! Players demanded action......Well???
Well it is not only true that before this year they did not do enough when it came to concussions, they league actually denied it was an issue and stonewalled on it.
The difference between the 2 being, the league had no valid reason to stall on recognizing concussions plus the league office does not get concussions. The players do get concussions.
But I don't think the roughing issue has anything to do with that. It's not that there was this huge epidemic of qb concussions that came from roughing. I think the new roughing rules just have to do with again favoring offense because offense drives up ratings.
