Peter Jackson: Like it or not George, facts are facts!

George North put his two big feet into the concussion debate the other day in sneering contempt of the media over their reporting of medical concern for his future well-being.
Asked by a BBC radio reporter how he felt, North said: “Well, you boys have to get paid somehow, don’t you? So you boys can make stories up. I’m all right.”
Leave aside that he could not be heard adding a perfunctory ‘thank you’ and consider, instead, the childish absurdity of his words. The facts are that he has been knocked out five times in two seasons.
Eminent concussion experts such as Dr Barry O’Driscoll dismiss the HIA process as ‘not fit for purpose’ and World Rugby have intervened twice,
concerned at the reaction, or lack of it, in separate incidents involving the Wales and Northampton medical teams.
So how much of that has been made up by the media? Just the five knock outs? Dr O’Driscoll’s professional reaction motivated by his concern for North’s well-being and those of every concussed rugby player the world over?
Or does he think we made up the whole shebang?
Maybe George watched Mr Trump’s Press conference last week and caught the ‘fake news’ bug from the new President.
