The largely unregulated and unsafe nature of high school football safety is revealed after an Oregon athlete suffers a "severe traumatic brain injury." The film tells the story of a 3.95 GPA student athlete football player whose life was devastated by a brain injury from a concussion that went untreated. It was later determined that Max was wearing a 20 year old helmet, one of several outdated helmets being used by Waldport High School players.

Thank you very much for sharing. I would Love a lot of stories on concussions if you dont mind.
When you know better, you do better. Now that we're no longer ignorant of CTE & related problems, kids should not be playing these contact sports. Studies have shown that kids who play tackle football in ELEMENTARY school show signs of depression, behavior issues & focus issues not seen in kids who don't play. That should be enough for any good parent to say NO to football/soccer/hockey/boxing/mma & other contact sports.
I disagree completely
Yeah kids should just sit still and play video games and eat McDonald's all day long
That's a ridiculous argument, there are dozens of physical activities that kids could be involved in that don't involve them participating in something that turns profession athletes into basket cases by the end of their athletic careers. This is enough of a controversy where adults are involved in the professional arena, and they at least get to pull in million dollar contracts, that kids are being exposed to this risk is outrageous.
There are plenty of sports that don't require contact. Video games are much better than full contact sports. When you have football players committing suicide, committing murder, doing crazy things because they have brain damage, you tell me what is worse, a kid playing video games, or a kid playing football who years later will turn crazy in the head? Even video games can be used as sports. They're called eSports. You have many kids who play video games, they become involved in the industry. They're intelligent people contrary to people who join the WWE and bash their heads in for the crowds to cheer. That is stupid. You know the wrestler, Chris Benoit, the one that shot his wife and kids before killing himself. He had brain damage.
The real sad part is people portraying football as remotely safe just because they have all this safety gear. Safety gear doesn't protect you. Even MMA doesn't pretend it is a safe sport. Any MMA fighter will tell you it is a dangerous and that they're putting their lives on the line. No boxer pretends boxing is a safe sport. No professional fighter will tell you headgear will protect you. They don't because they know that the brain shakes inside the skull from impacts.
MsNooneinparticular I agree with the exception of soccer.
very imformative.
The parents are just as much to blame as the coaches. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that constant headhits and jarring can lead to injury. It’s a stupid sport that is so ingrained in high school culture.
very imformative.
+michelle a Thank you!
