Let's fund independent concussion research with a levy on obscene, immoral and corrupting betting agency revenue

Max Tuerk was a USC and NFL O-lineman who passed away unexpectedly in 2020 at age 26. @bu_cte researchers studied Tuerk's brain and diagnosed him with stage 1 CTE.

Greg & Val Tuerk honor their son's life and legacy with Max's March to End CTE. Hike with us Saturday, 5/4!

Interesting stats from Super League.

🏉Head/neck height tackles ⬇️ (13% to 4.2%)
🏉 Concussion rates per 1000 hours ⬇️ (18.2 to 15.63)
🏉Use of IMG ⬆️ (15% to 75%)
🏉Penalty count stabilised (58 per round)

Extreme backlash to changes but a dramatic shift in player behaviour.

A moving piece from New Zealand.

“He was not an All Black. Instead, he was the quintessential weekend warrior; deeply devoted. The first to shake hands with any opponent and an embodiment of grassroots rugby….CTE is real and the consequences are brutal.”

Your health comes first. If you suspect a concussion, seeking proper medical care and management is key to a smooth recovery.

Exclusive: FA meeting minutes from 1983 indicate it was “fully aware of dangers” of concussion in football, but “failed to take action to reduce risk to lowest reasonable level”, according to ex-players & families who are suing governing bodies ⬇️

@ConcussionLF @Lennywoodard @ChrisNowinski1 Well done guys 👏👏. After rugby took the life of my closest friend, I’ve every reason to hate it……but I choose not to, I just want to highlight the dangers, educate participants, families and make the sport safer. 🧠🏉🙏😢 https://t.co/RW5pfRtQEK

[Michigan Concussion Center @UMichConcussion]

@CareConsortium research collaboration finds that continued participation after a sport-related #concussion is associated with higher symptom severity, longer symptom duration, and increased recovery time. Read the @SportsMedicineJ article to learn more https://t.co/pGxw9Aq9l2

[Progressive Rugby @ProgressiveRug]

Perhaps A-P simply means it’s ‘bad’ to see a player sustain an enormous impact to their head?

A brain doesn’t care about intent, mitigation or the colour of a card. Just that it experienced trauma.

When did we start caring more about where blame lies than a player’s wellbeing?

[Julie Stamm, PhD, ATC @JulieStammPhD]

First pro female athlete diagnosed w/ CTE

18 years of contact sport play. 28yo when she died. So sad & tragic.

Unfortunately she won't be the last. With the rise of women playing contact sports in recent decades, we will see a rise of CTE in women, too.

🔻Such an important point🔻

“Every sporting code should have a CTE minimisation policy, in addition to a concussion policy – they’re related but not the same issue.”

Is there a relationship between repetitive head injuries and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)?

@AhdelNeuro is joined by @ChrisNowinski1 & @KevinBickart to discuss #CTE and more in a recent episode of the #UCLABrainSPORT Podcast.
