A liability waiver solves the problem. If a parent signs that they cannot sue or hold anyone liable for something that happens at practice or game then what else can be done. If Judges had backbone and wouldn't let lawsuits still go even though papers have been signed, then we wouldn't have this discussion.

Here is the problem, the info about concussions will be blasted to the point a parent will fear for their kid's future. Mom and dad will hear, Mr and Mrs so and so were awarded a lot of $$ and everyone rides the gravy train.....this is the new American way.

I will add, I have 100% witnessed kids who should have never been on the field. It really should have came down to common sense,years ago, rather than come to this point. The coaches and their staff deserve their share of the blame. More often than not, they are far more interested in winning than the kids future.
I have complained about policy for years, when it wasn't cool to question it.
If your child takes a hit hard enough to not know where they are for a few minutes and complains of headaches for a few days, you notice a little difference, you decide it is not worth the kids future. Now, it will become that and lawsuits.
Mark my words, the smaller districts have a big question to ask, "can we afford the liability, what is the protocol, and should we scrap football" ....like it or not, change is coming.
