Sport related concussion is a major issue for many contact sports, such as Rugby, Football, Hockey and Handball. As a response, some federations like World Rugby set up a concussion protocol, that starts with the referee having the responsibility to issue a blue card when suspecting a concussed player and thus have him off the field for medical examination.
