Brutality in actions is taught from the very first introduction to the game.

In other sports hard contact is incidental. In football it is the objective. Not mentioned in Concussion are the thousands of debilitating and lifelong injuries to ankles , shoulders , hips, knees, internal organs, etc. and the costs of these injuries in life changing circumstances as well as the enormous $ costs to our society going forward.

I full well know that what I have said is heresy and will lead me to fire and brimstone.

Would like more information if people can find some reliable sources. This Wikipedia article is a good start.

Anyone have experience searching the medical databases for concussions and related topics. I would like to know what is out there???
