CONCUSSIONS AND THE GLADIATOR SPIRIT

On this podcast we discuss the movie "Concussion" and how the gladiator spirit is triggering brain problems.  Today the sport of football is the most popular sport in America.  Billions of dollars are spent on new stadiums and million dollar contracts are signed every year.  One of the major challenges in this sport is how to help the players suffering with a disease called CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy).  Dr. Omalu, who discovered the dis-ease in an autopsy has written a book titled "Play Hard, Die Young", which calls for us to ask the question, should our children be playing this sport.  Join us for a lively discussion.
