Replicating VLOOKUP
Thursday night games are relatively new to the league. The Health and Safety group wants to look at concussions occurring on Thursday night games to get a sense of what's happening. Of course, game data and impact data are kept in separate files.
In a spreadsheet environment, you would almost certainly join the tables with VLOOKUP or INDEX-MATCH. The pandas.merge() function seems like a good fit here. Your team has already prepared two data frames, thursdays and impacts.
Health and Safety wants to see two different views of the joined data: one view oriented on impacts and one view oriented on Thursdays.
