Concussion by Jeanne Marie Laskas

5.0

4.5 rounded up. Fascinating account on the long term effects on hits in football can damage the brain of players leading to CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy.) However, this story is also a memoir of Dr. Benett Omalu, the pathologist that discovered CTE and the lengths the NFL and other leaders in the field went to ostracize him and discredit his research. It's maddening what he was put through so I'm glad this book (and I hope the movie) gives him the credit and recognition he deserves
