Concussions

       There are two sides to concussions.  I am going to tell you some facts and opinions about both.
       The first side of concussions is whether you should rush back into sports after a concussion.  Studies show that 31% of athletes with concussions are rushed back onto the field.  But in my opinion I think that they should wait at least one to two months after getting a concussion.  If they are rushed back onto the field there is a substantial chance for them to get a second or even a third concussion.  A study has corroborated that players who have three or more concussions have a tripled risk of depression.  I feel that one concussion is the most someone should get.  Two is OK, but then you should indubitably take more precautions or stop playing sports.  Several professional football players have committed suicide.  Autopsy results revealed brain damage.  Concussions are bad!!!!!!!!
