Yes he was , he broke J. Atkinsons ankle < he kicked for us > and Took some cheap shots at D. Williams , actually punched Williams in the stomach . As far as football / concussions leading to his death ? Anyone who played football growing up has probably had many , as with boxers and hockey players . I would assume rugby players get many of them . When we were kids < in the 70's > , we would get knocked out cold and countinue to play because head injury's never seemed to get any attention . lets hope that the medical community can find answers and cures sometime soon .
