It seems to me that if you hit a player who is taken out for a concussion protocol, you should be taken out of the game for the same amount of time that they're out. This would disincentivize defenders from taking head shots instead of the current system that encourages them.

I agree. I hate adding subjectivity to officiating. But it's the only way to create fairness as long as you create a concussion protocol. To me, the worst possible thing in a violent sport like this is giving a team the opportunity to play Tonya harding.
