Sad, indeed.
Concussion (one aspect of head trauma) is now getting more open reporting in more and more sports. Whilst the articles are sad reading, the visibility is encouraging. Should - hopefully - bring all of it out of the closet so we can determine the true scope of the problem. And then, develop real clinical methods which apply across all sport.
