Why are concussion related injuries viewed differently that a blown knee?

Someone once asked Gordie Howe why he played hockey wearing a cup but not a helmet. He answered, "because I can always get someone else to do my thinking for me."

Knee injuries are quite different from head trauma.

The retirement was not directly due to concussions. He is fine medically. Mr. Borland was worried about the long term impact of continuing to play and future concussions.
