TACKLING CTE: UNVEILING THE HIDDEN DANGERS UNDER THE HELMET

New research shows that it's not just the number of hits, but their collective force over time that increases the risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in football players.

@DanaPerino & @BillMelugin speak to the founder & CEO of Concussion Legacy Foundation - @ChrisNowinski1 - about what this study means for the world of football & how to bolster player safety moving forward:

"We're more concerned about the bigger hits. One interesting fact about football is we worry about the concussions, but the concussions aren't often the hardest hits you take. A football player will take maybe 300-400 hits harder than a concussion over their career. So we need to focus not only on the repetition, but on changing the rules for the big hits."

"The CDC found that the median number of head impacts for a youth tackle football player is about 378. And the median number of hits to the head for a flag football player is 8. But we would never expect to see CTE coming out of a flag football player."

"The biggest thing here is that we control who gets CTE and who doesn't so we need to change how we play football."

Well done Chris…

Dear @NFL,

You must do better. This is bigger than protocols. A concussion can change a life. For me, it’s personal. We can’t let any other children grow up without their fathers.

Today I’ve written to NFL commish Roger Goodell and Dolphins owner Stephen Ross demanding answers about the concussion to @Tua days after he had another injury. As head of Congress’s Brain Injury Task Force I want to know how the hell he was on the field last night.

.@ChrisNowinski1 on DT’s #CTE diagnosis:

“I hope this is a wake-up call to high profile current & former #NFL players that CTE is rampant among them, and they need to get involved in creating real solutions. CTE should be their number one off-the-field issue.”

U.S. soccer star Bruce Murray has recently struggled with lapses in memory, including an incident where he didn't recognize his wife and son.

He and his family say that years of concussions and aggressive play may have caused him to develop CTE, a disease with no cure.
