Will Smith Film Concussion Exposes Football’s Risk to the Human Brain

CTE is often found in people who have suffered repeated concussions, like football players and boxers. It is a degenerative brain disease that causes serious cognitive and emotional symptoms. Several former NFL players who committed suicide were found to have suffered from the disease.
Research into traumatic brain injuries, including conditions like CTE, have led to new standards for safer sports activities in high schools and colleges throughout the country. This includes the recognition that players who may have concussions should be taken out of play and practice until they fully heal. It’s been found that a second concussion on top of a first one often compounds the danger of long-term brain injury. It has also led the NFL to change some of its rules and approaches to player injuries.
But, risks still exist. And even a traumatic brain injury that seems “mild” can have long-lasting, life-altering effects, as Concussion shows.
