I have recently talked about the brain injuries in Superbowl players
here and there are updated news about this. NFL (National Football League) is supporting a deeper study about these injuries and also how to prevent them. Some are afraid that this will kill the practice of football, but I think it is important that NFL starts taking these health issues seriously. Eventually, this research can even result in broader scientific knowledge.
