Im assuming Tua lied to the independent neurologist and the neurologist took it as "good enough for me".

I wonder if video review is part of the process. I have to wonder if the independent neurologist actually saw what happened to Tua on Sunday. It's hard to believe someone could see that and then go, "oh sure, that's not a concussion. I know that for SURE. Back spasms seem more likely".

You could see the dude's head bounce off the grass. His head was dangling when he sat up like it was about to fall off his neck.

FFS, he even did the little headshake thing like he was trying to shake it off before getting up.

Concussion seemed obvious and that was BEFORE the wobble legs.
