Henry gets drilled in the head, then kicks Bryant on the way down. Both are slow to get up, a clear sign of #concussion.
The only people who don't seem to notice? The broadcasters. NFL says you can't use the c-word until they tell you to. 🫡 So they pretend nothing is happening

Brighton’s Maelys Mpome recovers after concussion injury during Arsenal WSL match
Brighton defender Maelys Mpome was knocked out during the Women's Super League match against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, leading to a 10-minute pause in play. Mpome was struck in the face by the ball in the second half and taken off the field on a stretcher with a head brace and oxygen support, lat... [More info]
Emerging evidence suggests an association between concussion and increased risk of suicide, suicide attempts, and suicidal ideation. Concussion affects approximately 2 million youth each year, costing over $1 billion in medical expenses annually. Prior studies indicate that individuals diagnosed with concussion have twice the increased suicide risk compared to those without. Furthermore, recent Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey findings show significant associations between sports-related concussion in the past 12-months and suicidal ideation and attempts. Adding to the literature on this topic is a new retrospective longitudinal cohort study of over 417,500 youth and young adults aged 5–24 diagnosed with either concussion or orthopedic injury and followed for up to 10 years. The authors of this new study provide some possible mechanisms that may explain this association between suicide and concussion: 🔸 concussions can disrupt brain function, 🔸 post-concussion symptoms can lead to psychosocial stressors, such as an inability to participate in sports, social activities, or school, which may cause isolation and emotional distress, 🔸 cognitive deficits after concussion may impair judgment and decision-making, potentially leading to impulsive behavior, 🔸 concussions may worsen pre-existing psychiatric and psychosocial disorders, which are known suicide risk factors. Despite these risks, the overall 5-year suicide risk for youth with concussion remains low. The authors further note that their findings in this new study have several clinical implications: 🔹 concussion underreporting due to misconceptions might bias suicide risk estimates by undercounting concussion and post-concussion suicide cases, 🔹 youth and caregivers may assume that symptoms resolve quickly or go undetected on imaging, leading to inadequate follow-up, 🔹 clinicians may not routinely consider concussion history during mental health assessments. The study’s findings underscore the importance of identifying youth at elevated risk and implementing targeted prevention strategies. Such strategies may include early screening for suicide risk and mental health concerns, as well as integrated, collaborative care models to support recovery and reduce long-term risk - particularly for youth with repeated concussions.

💫 Soccer heading does most damage to brain area critical for cognition, brain imaging study finds

A brain imaging technique developed by Columbia researchers has identified areas in the brain's cerebral cortex—just behind the forehead—that are most damaged by the repetitive impacts from heading a soccer ball. Their study also found that the damage leads to cognitive deficits seen in soccer players who head the ball frequently.
