Medical personnel caring for NFL players should no longer report to team management or coaches, according to a Harvard Law School report published Thursday.
The recommendation comes in a 493-page report following a two-year study by The Petrie-Flom Center at Harvard Law School into the "various stakeholders who influence, or could influence, the health of NFL players."
"Our report shows how the various stakeholders might work together to protect and support NFL players who give so much of themselves -- not without benefit, but sometimes with serious personal consequences -- to one of America's favorite sports," said Glenn Cohen, professor of law at Harvard Law School and co-lead of the law and ethics initiative as part of the study. "NFL football has a storied history and holds an important place in this country. The men who play it deserve to have their health safeguarded and their health concerns addressed. We hope our recommendations in the report serve as a catalyst for this important work."
