Concussion protocol in NFL no laughing matter

Concussions are no joke.

The National Football League recognizes this. The league has made advancements in recent years to reduce head trauma for the sake of both in-season safety and post-football career health.
Donald Trump, however, thinks the moves by the NFL are ones of a wuss.

The Republican presidential nominee took a jab at concussions and the NFL on Oct. 12 when he made a side comment at a rally in Florida. A woman in the crowd passed out, but ended up returning for the end of the speech.

“See, we don’t go by these new, and very much softer, NFL rules,” Trump said upon seeing the woman’s return, according to the New York Daily News.
