The 40-year-old Eskandrian, who works for MLS in player relations and player development, shared his perspective while speaking on a panel Wednesday on the first day of a head injury summit at a downtown Chicago hotel. “It was more of like, if you felt OK, you carried through, you carried through, and there were never discussions about short-term, long-terms effects, things like that.” “When I was younger, growing up, that wasn’t even a thing to, hey, report your concussion,” he said. When it comes to head injuries and soccer, Eskandrian said, the sport has come a long way. The All-Star forward had five documented concussions during his MLS career, leading to his retirement in 2010.
