Geelong Scraps Secret Concussion Deal

Geelong has been forced to scrap a secret agreement with a player who has a history of concussion after the deal drew widespread criticism.

The AFL confirmed it did not approve the controversial arrangement between Geelong and their unnamed player, which would have allowed the player to continue playing while the club was protected from future liabilities. The player had signed a letter waiving some potential future legal rights.

The Cats abandoned the agreement on Thursday following condemnation from the AFL Players' Association, former players, and coaches. The deal raised significant concerns about player safety and the ethical implications of such arrangements in professional sports. cricket-ipl.co.za
