League Of Denial: The NFL, Concussions And The Battle For Truth (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Superbly researched. This books first chapter will grab you and explain how we got from Mike Webster's excruciating mental, and physical decline - to its conclusion where at the time, the NFL has bought off players with a settlement, which remains in suspense, AND DOES NOT include Webster's family since his death predates the terms of the settlement. To those who say the players knew what they signed up for, your right when it comes to knees, backs, or shoulders. But you're wrong about the essence and very spirit of these men, who were indignantly robbed of their identities and essence of living by playing the game they loved. Just read this book. Té una primera meitat molt bona, una segona meitat que es fa una mica llarga i un final abrupte, bàsicament perquè és una polèmica que no esta tancada. Tot i que és sobre NFL, el llibre té poc football i molt del debat científic que hi va haver al darrera. Em recorda al Más grandes que el amor de Dominique Lapierre. Aquell segueix la història dels científics que van descobrir el VIH i aquest segueix la història dels neurocirurgians que van destapar els danys cerebrals que pateixen els jugadors de futbol americà. El millor del llibre per mi, les històries personals dels jugadors, són terribles. Guanyen molts diners però paguen un preu molt alt.

Must read for all football fans, parents and healthcare providers and politicians of any strife.

Enjoyable, if a bit longer than it necessarily needed to be.

I will never look at football the same way again.
