Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Traumatic brain injury in football is not incidental, butan inevitable and central aspect of the sport. Starting in high school,through college, and into the NFL, young players face repeated headtrauma, and those sustained injuries create lifelong cognitive andfunctional difficulties. Concussion Inc. reveals the decades-long cover-upof scientific research into sports concussions, and the ongoing denialto radically reform football in North America. This is the complete headinjury story, from the doctor who played fast and loose with the factsabout the efficacy of the state-mandated concussion management systemfor high school football players, to highly touted solutions that aremore self-serving cottage industry than of any genuine benefit.
