harkness99 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Only hope I can see is that the rain rolls through and maybe they can start the game about 800-900 central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand In 30 years in the field I have never seen a player forced to play. I've seen some talk them into it, but I've never seen someone refuse to play and them forced to. Most of the time it's the players themselves contradicting the medical staff. Whether it be from not wanting to lose a roster spot or the competitive drive to win. I can't tell you how many times an NFL player would come off the field with a head injury and say it was their shoulder so they wouldnt check for a concussion. This is why they came up with the AT spotter up in the booth and the independent neurologist on the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why they came up with the AT spotter up in the booth and the independent neurologist on the sidelines. Expand I'm referring to big games. I dont think teams put guns to their heads but they may strongly urge them to play. Leaks come out about players being cleared by doctors, or in Durant's case, that teammates question his heart and desire to play. I don't think Durant would have played if his heart and toughness weren't questioned. In championship games I think truly injured players are nudged to play by their teams. That being said, you are right about concussions and the like during regular season contests especially with non stars. Congrats on the 30 year career, that is awesome.
