Mitigating the Concussion Crunch: League Governance, Passive Actors and Regulators of Risk

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Concerns about the risk of serious harm associated with concussion are widely recognised as top priorities for many sports to manage. A series of highly publicised events, including legal settlements in the United States (US), the escalation of concussion claims in the United Kingdom (UK), and coronial concerns in Australia, illustrate the pervasiveness of this ‘crisis’. With class action claims threatened in two high profile football codes, this article undertakes a retrospective review across the decades. It examines relationships, risks and salient features in concussion-related concerns within the Australian sports landscape.
