Jonathan and Wes look at the impact that injuries have in contact sports and who is responsible for making the call to quit or continue.
Wes' Point
When Jonathan and I kicked around the idea for this article, the first thing that popped into my head was the movie Varsity Blues. I pictured Billy Bob asking for help and the coach bullying him back onto the field. That scenario is much less likely to happen today. There is a huge spotlight on player's health that wasn't there fifteen or twenty years ago which has caused players, coaches and administrators to quickly become educated about how to handle injuries.
