Of course, the greater responsibility under the law would be held by the trainer who saw enough of an apparent concussion symptom to give a concussion assessment yet failed to do his legal duty to prevent the player from returning.

I can't see into someone's eyes from the stands.
I can't determine whether or not a player is confused from the stands.
I can't hear whether or not a player says his head hurts from the stands.
I can't hear the doctor or trainers questions from the stands.
I can't hear the answers from the stands
The list goes on.....
No way you are proving negligence from the stands.
