Are College Athletes in Kansas and Missouri Truly Protected from Serious Head Injury?
At Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys, we know football is a dangerous sport. An average player suffers some sort of hit to the head on nearly every play during a game whether its NFL, college or Pee Wee football. Some hits are bigger than others. While it may be fun to watch big hits during games, these athletes are subjecting themselves to the possibility of long term brain damage caused by the series of hits they sustain during games from week to week.
Now, two former college players are trying to change the way the NCAA protects its players from severe head injuries during games. In a lawsuit filed in September, the players say the NCAA failed to protect players by allowing coaches to practice tackling techniques that involve "leading with the head". Head to head contact hits are out lawed in college and NFL but that doesn't mean they don't happen. It's not always on purpose but these players have been taught for years to tackle that way because that's where power comes from.
Protecting athletes is something we take very seriously at Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys because we know there is no such thing as a slight head injury. Any head injury has the potention for long term damage. The NCAA has the responsibility to protect the athletes they are making billions of dollars off of.
