As we observed in Football's Headache May be an Insurance Nightmare, there is a growing concern over concussions suffered by professional football players – and by college players, and even younger ones. Moreover, it is becoming clear that the insurance coverage implications may be the driving factor in much if not all of the pending litigation – and on football's future.
Ken Belson, the author of a recent New York Times article on insurance coverage for concussions, Concussion Suits May Raise Liability Costs, spoke about these issues in an interview on radio station WFAN by Rick Wolff. The audio is available here: Will Skyrocketing Insurance Costs on Concussions Spell the End of Youth Contact Sports?
