Kevin,
Thank you, for the very insightful post. You made some great comparisons between the NHL and NFL when it comes to player safety. I am in agreement with you that it appears the NFL did not embrace Dr. Omalu’s findings at first and putting more football player’s lives at risk. It would also appear that some of the pro-football players were given medications prior to the football games to mask symptoms of head injuries. “A potent anti-inflammatory medication called Toradol. Players allege that they were repeatedly administered the drug, often just prior to games, to reduce on-field pain, a practice that is reportedly still widely condoned by NFL teams today. Medical experts have found that Toradol – manufactured by Roche – can mask symptoms
