The League of Denial: The NFL’s Concussion Crisis is a very interesting report on the impact of concussions in football. One of the more disturbing aspects of the film was the impact of falling (no concussion or head banging involved).

There were even reported cases of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) in high school senior football players.
