Concussions In The NFL

http://media.soundmedicine.org/segments/101313_6.mp3

In August, the NFL reached a $765 million settlement with more than 4,500 retired players. The players accused the league of withholding information about the link between football and traumatic brain injuries. Michael Kirk, producer of the Frontline documentary “League of Denial: The NFL’s Concussion Crisis,” discusses the documentary, the disbandment of the NFL’s Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee, and what researchers learned from former Pittsburgh Steeler Mike Webster.
