Another safety vs. talent issue at hand here. Can banning such players be worth it?

The problem here is setting the baseline for the definition of "concussion-prone." If they set it too high, they run the same suit risk they now have. If they set it too low, they run the risk of discrimination suits.
This seems like one of those "leave it alone" issues to me.

Couldn't they create a liability waiver rule of some kind in future?
