NFL Funding Concussion Study For Jockeys

[RobertWeathers]

The article has been out for a few days . I found this incredible - but not shocking.

Another example of disingenuous, diabolical, dasterdly Goody.

The latest example of the NFL’s tepid interest in discovering more information about the lasting effect of the league’s players banging their heads together dozens of times per game was exposed in a story by ESPN’s Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru for “Outside The Lines.”

Some of the information revealed in the story is so bizarre and so wild that it would’ve been difficult to come up with for a story of fiction.

For example: Since promising to dedicate $100 million into concussion research and prevention, the NFL has funded exactly one study on CTE, but it’s focused on horse jockeys instead of football players.
