Did anyone else see.. Michael Irvin had a passionate (and my opinion) half-right take on this today.
Irvin said it's been wrong to blame the coach (I agree, tho I think the coach has received a lot less scapegoating than the terminated neurologist).
But the more valuable half of Irvin's take was his criticism of the fake moral outrage. He rightly points out that players have sustained brutal injuries for generations, and now suddenly the superfans & NFL brass are shedding crocodile tears over the handling of Tua. I liked what Irvin was saying.. I wish more sports media would lay out the reality that concussion protocol is a recent, preemptive legal strategy, crafted in response to brain damage litigation. It was always "for show". Real cautious, concussion protocol would require more than looking for vacant stares in a 5 minute window..
