Showing concern is admitting vulnerability. It’s a lot easier to ignore it and pretend it’s not happening or is an isolated issue than confront the reality.

For everyone trying to ascribe some emotional reasoning as to why he was weeping and hyperventilating, just stop. He wasn’t lucid from the moment he took the hit until well after he left the field. Having experienced a severe concussion and being told later I had the same reaction, I’d bet season tickets he doesn’t…

No, he’s had at least one before... last year he was in the protocol for a month which means it was a bad one or he wasn’t recovering well.

He missed three games with one last year. This one looked major. His career is probably at risk at this point.

That wasn’t emotion, he wasn’t there. Uncontrollable crying is one of the symptoms of major concussion.
