With modern lawyers busy ambulance chasing this could be a really huge financial problem about to hit football. As and when it does they will have no choice but to put something in place going forward and I have not a clue of what they could do.
A lot of players can’t head the ball to save their lives anyway, so that’s them out of the equation.
Surely all you need to do is tell players what the evidence is, then they can choose to take the very small risk if they want to. Some kind of document absolving the FA and clubs of blame should do the trick.
We don’t ban driving because it can kill you, we don’t ban swimming because you might drown.
There are risks involved in living, people just need to make their own choices, end of.
All this compensation culture stuff is ruining things for everyone. If players are that worried, they can take out insurance can’t they. The risks, while undoubtedly present, are low.
The extent to which people are now refusing to take responsibility for themselves,and blaming ‘them’ for it, is genuinely shocking.
We are turning into a society where people spend more time worrying about what might happen than actually living their lives. COVID has demonstrated the full extent of this life ruining behaviour.
People need to get on with living their lives ffs, they are very short and risk aversion devalues them hugely.
You live for a short time and then you die, there is nothing we can do about that and it’s time people took a dose of reality.
