One of the NFLs stronger
arguments could be that the prejudice against concussions is actually a symptom of participation trophy culture where everyone gets a healthy
brain - by coddling our kids mental health we're actualy doing them a disservice and
leaving them ill - equipped for the real world when their
brains eventually stop working altogether.
So, for example, just to say for the sake of
argument, that there's a gene that influences the width of the birth canal, and lets say that some versions of the gene
leave women more likely to have trouble giving birth, so that their children have loss of oxygen and that could lead to changes in the
brain that lead to lower intelligence scores.
