How did Dr. Omalu's research on CTE impact the NFL? Was the NFL correct in waiting for more medical research to make any policy changes? Should official sports management dictate the medical standards on its own players or should there be oversight from a non-partisan medical research team regulating the game and its effects on the players' health? Please explain your answer.
