Default Interesting sports concussion article
Another good reason us lot should stop playing contact sports. Australian Rules Football article, including debate over the use of helmets.:-

Quote:
Several concussions later - many of which were sustained during his 66 games with Melbourne - the 25-year-old is seeking compensation over a brain injury.

Doctors found Bell's cognitive function had deteriorated significantly and linked this to his history of concussions.

Despite recent improvements due to a brain-training program, Bell struggles to remember words and names when he is tired or feels strained.
