It relates to college (and all) football:
"More broadly, the league’s public position could influence other levels of football because many college, high school and youth leagues take their cues from the N.F.L.
Others in the sports world, including parents of young athletes, “have trusted the N.F.L., and the N.F.L. was on the fence for a long time,” said Chris Nowinski, a co-founder of the Concussion Legacy Foundation. “We now have a significant confirmation from the N.F.L., and that could have ripple effects around football and sports.”
And it is broader than the strictly medical dangers. This matter is superimposed upon the emerging labor rights movement in college football. One wonders what the game will look like in 10 years.
