#WorldCup Player Álvaro Pereira Kept Playing After Being Knocked Out Cold During Uruguay's Game with England

He was out cold on the grass.

At the New York Times, "‘Lights Went Out,’ but He Kept Playing: Uruguayan Player’s Return After Head Injury Stirs Debate."

And watch it at the Sydney Morning Herald, "Alvaro Pereira, knocked out then raring to go."

Pereira was clearly - clearly - out cold on his back needing to be revived. Now he's playing. That is just insane.

Hate seeing doctors overruled with Pereira coming back on. World soccer clueless on concussions.
