A new book, The Concussion Crisis: Anatomy of a Silent Epidemic, by Linda Carroll and David Rosner, explains a constant theme in our society: protect the sport, not the players. The truth is, for a long time, people didn’t want to believe that sports-related concussions were an actual danger posing life-threatening injuries to players. However, in recent years, the amount of new information being released highlighting the devastating effects concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries could have on players has brought this long-hidden trend to the forefront of not only the medical community, but also the nation as a whole.

In the book, the authors include profiles of those who’ve sustained football concussions that have led to disability, shattered lives, insanity and early death. Carroll and Rosner emphasize that concussions are often undetectable and several minor jolts can ultimately inflict as much damage as a major traumatic brain injury.
