A lot of top players speaking out on social media tonight. Looks like action on its way.. a lot saying enough is enough
Personally, I find all the rhetoric from players over this a bit rich. They should go and speak to some of their ex colleagues about why they're trying to sue the game for a pay day, that's why we're at this point.
To provide a bit more context on why these changes are happening, the most recent science seems to suggest that concussions aren't the the most significant factor in potential brain injury in a contact sport. The more significant factor is sub-concussive impacts, these are impacts that don't cause symptoms. So a big part of the intention of these new rule interpretations is to reduce the amount of sub-concusive impacts, which is why even accidental head contact is being clamped down on.
The best thing the game could do at this point is settle all these litigations in some way, and then try to move forward with a process that will prevent players from bringing action against the game. I'm not sure how feasible that is.
