One of the issues I think they have is detecting the damage at least in the living, so knowing how much is the risk, and older footballs where these heavy leather things! Football seems to carry a higher risk than rugby for this sort of injury, though rugby certainly has more concussions.
But with both of those they are team sports so someone if suspected can sit out, with other sports it’s much more challenging, if in a bike race there is a crash which is quite common in the early few days of the big races, a Racer has two choices they either finish the race or they retire there isn’t a mechanism so they can sit this day or so on, and lots of sports are like that.
People as we learn more are going to have to either radically change some sports or take the risks.
