Not buying the concussion excuse...

Not buying the concussion excuse...


Nor do I. There are maybe two factors going on here. As I stated in the post above yours, concussions have become an issue in all contact sports. Modifying rules, equipment, etc. to minimize concussions is probably a good thing.

Then there are the people doing the crimes you listed. How were they raised? What environment were they brought up in? Did getting special treatment because of their athletic skills contribute to their lack of impulse control and sense of responsibility? These problems may be much harder to deal with than the concussion issue. They can’t even be spoken of aloud, let alone be addressed.
