What can be done about footy's concussion crisis?

from Two Good Sports · host iHeart Australia, Abbey Gelmi and Georgie Tunny

The AFL is under scrutiny with the Jake Kolodjashnij concussion controversy. The Geelong defender signed a waiver that releases his club from any legal risk over future concussions and it has opened a big can of worms. The NRL is also dealing with a concussion debate; it's still reeling from Eli Katoa's injury last November. With growing legal, medical and ethical questions around head knocks, we ask a big question: can the sports we love continue to exist in the same form we grew up watching? We love a cinematic hit-up in Origin (played back in slow-mo with sweat flying everywhere) but should we still have them? Plus, secret Allan Border medal ceremonies, very exciting news around the NFL's first game in Australia and some behind-the-scenes access to the Logies.    Harvey Norman love sport. Supporting Australian athletes at all levels, from grassroots to the world stage for over thirty years.
