I don't think this would be all that effective. What it does do is absolve the right governing bodies of their culpability, but it doesn't really do anything to protect the players, nor to actively reduce the incidence of CTE, which really ought to be the primary goal. As members of a civilized society, we bear some responsibility at some point for legislating against self destructive behaviours.
