Twellman: 'Barbaric' concussion treatment has got to evolve
The former USMNT forward and current football analyst hopes new technology can result in better diagnosis for players
Taylor Twellman, a former United States international and now an analyst for ESPN, had his career cut short due to the effects of repeated concussive blows during his playing days in MLS.
He has long been a campaigner for better awareness around the issue of concussions in football through his ThinkTaylor Foundation but admits to being disappointed at what he sees as the issue’s low priority within FIFA.
