There may not have been concussion protocol in place in the 2000's, but did any sane person think concussions wouldn't have long term effects?
That's kind of where the rub is for me, people knew concussions weren't good (players and the league) but both pretty much kept their heads in the sand and ignored it. The league ignored it because it's bad for business, and players ignored it because they want to play and make money.
I'm not saying the league is innocent in the matter, I just feel like the players and PA should have some blame as well.
