A team of us at @NottmTrentUni considered the critical question - Is gender equality in brain damage ‘progress’ for women and sport? Our 'answers' frame important ethical & moral positions for the future of all performance-orientated sport 😎🧠🏈👇

Consent sits at the foundation of all ethical, moral and healthy approaches to sport. If you work in sport, you work in consent. If that doesn't make sense there's a video and paper here - https://t.co/W5av4UKERW

“I don’t buy into former pros saying; ‘we knew what we were getting into’ – it’s absolute rubbish and I’m happy to call them out on it.”

David Flatman said players were well aware of the threat of physical injury but not the risk of early onset dementia.
