Sports players 'should be forced to quit games to avoid brain injuries'RSS Feed
Sports players should be forced to sit out the rest of a match if they suffer a concussion to lessen the risk of a brain injury, it has been asserted.
Officials need to provide more support for those who develop a head ailment during or after their career, footballer Sean Morey told the Arizona Daily Star.
He said those who lose consciousness on the field should not just avoid the remainder of a game, but also wait 15 days before returning to action.
Morey recently agreed to donate brain tissue to scientists upon his death, something the news provider claimed is "amazing", due to the fact players' wages are often based on health.
"I don't feel like my career will be in jeopardy because I might admit I suffered concussions," he said.
One sport which has attracted particular attention from brain injury charities is boxing.
UK non-profit organisation Headway recently called on the International Olympic Committee to ban this event from future Games, arguing the cumulative effect of blows to the head can cause serious ailments and even death.
