The risk of athletes sustaining concussion while participating in
professional team sports raises two serious concerns both
nationally and internationally. First, concussion in sport carries
a public health risk, given that injured athletes may have to deal
with significant long-term medical complications, with some of the
worst cases resulting in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
Secondly, sports governing bodies are now exposed to the risk of
financial and reputational damage as a consequence of legal
proceedings being filed against them. A good example of this, among
many other recent examples, is the case of the United States of
America's National Football League (NFL), the governing body for
American football, which, in 2015, committed to pay US$ 1 billion
to settle the class action filed by its former professional
players. This book examines how to most efficiently reduce these
public health and legal risks, and proposes a harmonised solution
across sports and legal systems.
