But .. the class actions talk about the players being forced back onto the field after they were concussed, and duty of care to look after them after they were already already concussed. That sort of stuff.
Yeah, that is another issue all together. Once a player suffers concussion there's no one rule fits all approach to the severity/permanency of the injury. The Picken legal action will be a litmus test for the AFL and rules of the game.
If Boxing, MMA, etc. haven't been taken on for that
It comes down to the likely risk of harm occuring and whether the steps required to remove the threat are reasonable/achievable, reasonable forseeability of harm occurring by participating in a risk activity.
