@TradingIsFunny @bucketbrigadeOS @SInow @singlesdoubles Not quite right. Studies suggest concussions slightly higher in rugby. Additionally, scrum caps are for protection against cuts, abrasions and cauliflower ears, not concussion.
Irrespective of why #SuperRugbyPacific are content to let these collisions go, let’s err on the side of caution and get the player on the end of them off the field for a proper check. Huge whiplash. #playerwelfare

@AlixPopham @danroan @DamianCollins @WorldRugby @RFU @WelshRugbyUnion Doesn’t surprise me with the level of denial and delay tactics by big sports. They have been at it for decades. We need involvement and management from the DCMS that I called for over 7 years ago when Cae took his own life from brain injuries Sport cannot mark its homework
@ChrisNowinski1 @NZRugby Disgraceful behaviour from people in rugby more interested in $ than player welfare. Sam Peters book Concussed nails it. So far behind the USA it’s a joke. ARU and RFU as guilty. So sorry for the loss and trauma Billy and family went through,

A moving piece from New Zealand. “He was not an All Black. Instead, he was the quintessential weekend warrior; deeply devoted. The first to shake hands with any opponent and an embodiment of grassroots rugby….CTE is real and the consequences are brutal.” thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350244…

@jamesjpdrake In the US NFL #concussion settlement, I introduced the term industrial disease into the case after cited the work of UK medical researchers in the 1960s examining boxers. Ultimately, the settlement left big sport hacks using biased and corrupt protocols to screw athletes.

@jamesjpdrake @chris_sutton73 @DailyMail Rugby is mirroring US gridiron at the professional level. I young cohort a very early onset cases (20-45 years old) and much larger longer tail cohort of cases (46-....years old). #TBI #CTE
@jamesjpdrake @chris_sutton73 Nothing surprises me with the level of denial and delay tactics employed by big sports. They have been at it for decades. We need involvement and management from the DCMS that I called for over 7 years ago. Sport cannot be allowed to mark is own homework for financial gain
@chris_sutton73 I agree with you Chris, World Rugby are no different. It’s been permitted to happen on an industrial scale for decades and the constant failure to address brain injuries is sickening. Rugby look the life of my closest friend and many others and remain in denial
Nothing is a great surprise anymore with regards to the football authorities and dementia… make of this what you will👇👇 CHRIS SUTTON: It's a disgrace that English football's stars suffering from dementia are STILL waiting for help | Daily Mail Online dailymail.co.uk/sport/football…
@AlixPopham @WorldRugby Wealth 💰💰over Health. The amount of sports in denial is frightening and sickening. Let’s educate and look to prevent brain injuries. Ignore and delay tactics are shameful, dangerous and deplorable
@AlixPopham @WorldRugby Deny, delay, deceive, and ignore tactics.
