Tua was obviously concussed. Everyone watching said so. It wasn’t a secret. The back injury excuse was gaslighting, and called out as such immediately. It’s not an “if”, and it’s asinine to continue giving validity to that egregious subversion of the existing concussion protocols. That UNC should lose his medical license.

It was the NFL that denied CTE when it was diagnosed. Goodell's job is to keep filling the owner's pockets and figure out how many more games they can put on pay to view channels.

Sadly… Tua should retire from football. I’m a huge fan of him, but the game is not worth loosing his life over another concussion. It’s was very sad to see him injured as he was. No one deserves that. I wish him a speedy recovery.

I hope that Tua takes at least a few weeks to recover from the injuries. He's get his job back because he's much more talented than Bridgewater.

We love the game in great part because of the big hits, as a matter of fact the number one reason why football is a multibillion dollar industry and the most watched sport in the United States is because of the violent element in it. I for one am a huge football fan and have been since as far back as I have had the ability to reason but seeing Tua get injured the way he did i must admit was pretty disturbing, it gave me chills. The libertarian argument to the violent element within sports like football, boxing, mma, rugby etc is that human beings should be allowed to do whatever they want as long as they are not hurting others in the process unless those others are consenting adults. But if consenting adults want to participate in Gladiator games were they fight till death like in the days of Ancient Rome should they be allowed to do so? I personally would say “no” and I think most people would agree with me but when it comes to football or boxing which you can argue is a form of long term death those same people would tell you it’s okay. So I guess its a matter of degree. How much danger is too much danger? And who should decide how much danger is too much danger? Should it be the players, the coaches, the referees, the GMs, the fans, the owners, the politicians, the voters, the family members of the players ? Or a little bit of everyone? Well whatever the answer the truth of the matter is that this problem is not going anywhere. The only way you completely eradicate concussions and CTE from football is to completely prohibit any type of tackling and go with flag football or touch football or something along those lines and thats not going to happen, at least not in my lifetime. So we might as well get used to these type of injuries because the sad truth is that we’re going to be seeing them for the rest of our lives. GET WELL SOON TUA!

I wonder how many people are going to go to that independent doctors office now

[brianbradford]

I hope that for Tua's sake that if there was an intentional mistake made that they find it. If they were lying they need to come out and say they were lying and why for not only Tua's sake but for us to know why if this intention was made what pressures were there and how can we do better to get people not to put those pressures on the doctors or the players or whatever. We NEED to get to the bottom of this for everyone's safety! This is about humans... Not players...

[georgeosullivan]

The coach needs to go too you don't have to listen to the doctors you can still use your own discretion

Tua is overly fragile. A real player will walk off the field and take a play or two to recover and get right back in the game.
