League of Denial: The NFL, Concussions, and the Battle for the Truth

League of Denial: The NFL, Concussions, and the Battle for the Truth by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru, 399 pages. Detailed and interesting account of the cost to football players, old and young, of repeated violent blows to the head while playing the game. The authors document that the NFL has a great deal of data on the affect of repeated concussions, but do their best to hide that data, so that the game can go on as it is, and the money can keep coming in. According to the authors there are a fair number of doctors who are prepared to keep ignoring the damage done to the health of the players so that they can continue to be part of the NFL or sit on the sidelines with an NFL team.
