NFL strengthens stance on concussions

Football Betting Lines

07/27/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The National Football League has taken another step forward in its ongoing effort to limit the effects of concussions.

The New York Times first reported on and re-printed a draft of a poster that will hang in each locker room throughout the league warning about the effects of concussions along with what steps players should be taking should they develop symptoms.

The top of the poster reads: A Must Read for NFL Players -- Let's Take Brain Injuries Out of Play. The rest of the poster is split into sections labeled concussion facts and concussion symptoms, along with additional sections on why a player should report symptoms and what to do if you think you have one.

The Times added the document will also be made into a brochure for all players.

The NFL had been seen by many as slow and often non-responsive when reacting to criticism levied on the long-term effects of head injuries on retired and current NFL players. But in recent years, the league has taken incremental steps to not only promote awareness but protect its players from such injuries.

Late in the 2009 season, the league put in place stricter rules regarding players who suffer concussions and when they can return to the field.

The release by Commissioner Roger Goodell said that a player may not return to the field if he experiences any kind of confusion, amnesia, persistent headaches, dizziness or vertigo or any other signs of concussion. It also came two years after the league ruled that players who lose consciousness while playing may not return to the game.
