“Dying to Play,” an article by Kevin Cook, aims to stop concussions in the NFL. But anything that involves contact or physical activity will result in injury. The NFL has a lot of injuries, as do all sports, not just the NFL which is in the spotlight. what is popular in the media tends to be criticized and criticized. In “Dying to Play,” Cook says brain injuries are a growing problem in football. Cook begins by telling a player; collided with a teammate and broke his neck. that it's a reminder that the NFL is taking notice that head injuries are very serious. Before that, “the NFL donated $30 million to the National Institutes of Health for brain injury research,” Cook says, “signaling that NFL veterans are more likely to die from brain diseases.” Cook tells you that more than 3,000 players have sued the NFL because they weren't informed. but some brains are more resistant to head trauma. Cook says: “Dave Duerson was 50 years old when he committed suicide, but his brain was not damaged. so he can be studied, showing signs of CTE” (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). Another problem arises when a player suffers a concussion and lies to continue playing. Cook said: “The NFL uses cognitive testing to determine a player’s condition. we show them 20 words and we ask them to write down what they remember, it's the same thing with images and to classify them in a file. when a player is hit hard, they pass the same test. and compare the results. and “Some players cheat by giving wrong answers on the previous test. so they can do better in the event of a concussion. Cook thinks they need a more foolproof plan. Cook ends by saying, "How should we view the NFL's donation to the NIH when $30 million is four and a half minutes of commercial time... in the middle of an article...... about concussions, because it's a big business with a lot of attention. The NFL has about 1,500 players, but you don't hear about lower levels of football after college. like arena football which has thousands of players. but you will never hear about them, because they are not in the spotlight. Cook said: “America is ready for football, but the human brain may never be ready. » It bothers me, he wrote this about stopping injuries in the NFL, but how can you stop brain injuries, if the human brain is never capable of playing. There will always be hurt in everything you do, but you can choose. Many players are fully aware of the moment they suffer a concussion and then choose to return to the game or keep it quiet. Overall, the National Football League monitors players, with doctors and medical care. Unfortunately, injuries will always happen.
