On Tuesday evening, pages from former Philadelphia Union coach Peter Nowak's lawsuit were revealed on Twitter. His attitude toward concussions hit close to home for one of our writers.
Philly.com's Jonathan Tannenwald obtained over 200 pages from Peter Nowak's lawsuit against the Philadelphia Union, and one paragraph that stood out to me was Peter Nowak's treatment of players with concussions. According to the file, Nowak "call a player 'pussy' for having a concussion". Nowak also would not allow players to miss game or practice time for concussions, calling them weak for not being able to play through a concussion.
