a referee in Ohio turning a blind eye to apparent symptoms of a concussion is going to land in real legal trouble given the new law.

I have no idea what you are trying to suggest by, "the referees have a legal obligation regarding apparent concussions.

I would also suggest that ANY Referee ANYWHERE accepts the same risk, "a referee in Ohio turning a blind eye to apparent symptoms of a concussion is going to land in real legal trouble given the new law".
