"Concussion in sport continues to make headlines, whether it be class actions,
young men flocking to the highly violent “RunIt” activity or debate about
whether Australian rules football should remove the “bump” once and for all.
Bringing this weighty issue to greater prominence are the former athletes who
bravely share their long-term health struggles after careers in sport –
cognitive impairments, mental health issues or concerns about neurodegenerative
disease, specifically chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Yet for all the progress made by many sports in recent years, it feels like we
still have not fully grasped the understanding of CTE – or maybe we don’t want
to."
