League ignores/disputes 2005 concussion study
Beginning in 2005, a series of clinical and neuropathological
studies performed by independent scientists demonstrated that multiple NFL concussions cause cognitive problems such as depression and early-onset dementia. In response to these studies, members of the NFL Concussion Committee (NFL Committee) denied knowledge of a link between concussions and cognitive decline and claimed that several more years of research were required to reach a defi nitive conclusion on the issue. When the NFL Committee anticipated studies that would implicate a causal link between concussions and cognitive degeneration, it promptly published articles producing contrary findings. http://www.campbell-trial-lawyers.co...%28kain%29.pdf |

I have a question for the group.
How is it that concussions are a bigger issue in the NFL than in boxing where two guys spend a lot of time punching each other directly in the head? |

i have a better question...Do players not voluntarily engage in this sport not knowing that potential injuries may happen???? This is called occupational hazard!
