The NFL toughens concussion language
In his New York Times column Sean Leahy explores how the National Football League (NFL) is using tougher language to help tackle head injuries. This season each NFL locker room will be necessarily adorned with a concise, informative poster (shown right) that will teach players a series of facts about concussions. The campaign is designed to produce heightened cognizance surrounding the serious nature of head injuries, beginning with the players and filtering out to their families and fans. The poster also educates, in general. Did you know that the majority of serious concussions do not involve a loss of consciousness?
