I think the hefty suspensions are valid for two reasons.A) the amount of time a player has to miss for a concussion is increasing.B) we are learning more and more about the severe impacts of concussions.It’s only fair that suspensions be high for players who put their opponents at an increased risk of concussion. I get that these are split second decisions, but in both the Rankine and Houston hits both players had other options. Bumping wasn’t necessary, so ther argument that they only missed by 5-10cm is not relevant in my view.
