There is some much more attention and knowledge about the detrimental effects of concussions in the last 5+ yrs that brings these hits (legal or not) to the attention of all.
Consider all the potentially great and great NHL players sitting out game-after-game or retired due to long term concussion effects.
Look at the NFL: (CNN) -- More than 100 former professional football players, including former Atlanta Falcons Jamal Anderson, Chris Doleman, and O.J. Santiago, are adding their names a growing list of players suing the NFL.
They join more than 1,500 other players who claim that the National Football League hid the dangers of concussions from them.
