Description
This e-single collection of New York Times articles investigates the link between concussions sustained in sports and serious mood disorders and cognitive impairments like addiction, depression, early-onset dementia and suicide. Although the N.F.L. was reluctant to see former players’ dementia as football-related, the league eventually acknowledged that concussions can have long-term consequences. As a result, football programs are changing the way they deal with concussions; high school players are being taught how to tackle more safely; and the president hosted a daylong summit to increase public awareness of the problem.
