The NFL's Response to Brain Trauma: A Brief History: The Atlantic's Ta-Nehisi Coates, a former football fanatic who has drifted away from the game because of the ongoing brain trauma revelations, lays out a timeline of the league's actions. Parts of it don't make for pleasant reading.
Wow. I had not heard of some of those cases in the '90s (though I was out of the country for much of it). Also, Ta-Nehisi Coates is rapidly becoming one of the best commentators on America today.
