Documentary to watch
 
There is a documentary called Head Games: The Global Concussion Crisis that is coming on the Pivot channel (267 for Direct TV users) 6:30pm central time tomorrow, October 22.

Some of you may have seen it, but I have not and am interested in what it has to offer. The information says it will discuss neurologic findings of those who have sustained multiple head injuries. Just though I'd share for any who are interested.

Take care!

Chris Nowinski, the athlete/author in Head Games started the discussion after many others failed to be heard. He co-founded the Sport Legacy Institute. SLI partnered with Boston University School of Medicine to found the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy.

Head Games is available to be watched online from a number of sources if the current showing is not available. Dish Network has also had it many times.

I've seen it twice. It is about the way concussions have been denied in football, soccer and rugby. It has very good information. It includes pathological information showing the damage evident in brains.

It has no information about treatment.

It will play again Saturday morning early at 7:00 am mountain time on PIVOT and again at 10:30 am on Sunday morning on PIVOT (channel 197 on Dish Network)


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 09:24 PM.
