The National Football League at some point is going to have to acknowledge that it, as purveyors of a violent sport, has a concussion problem and that its efforts to minimize that reality only make it worse for themselves.
There is the general acknowledgment that concussions are a part of the game, of course, after decades of denial and lawsuits and millions and millions of dollars paid out to former players (even that not without its own controversies), but then we still have situations like this past week that raise the questions of whether or not the league is doing enough.
