I did brain science at Cambridge. Now I'm a behaviour science professor. Read my shit.

The End of the NFL’s Concussion Crisis. Interesting account of the silence:

Fans, it seems, have chosen to believe the NFL has largely done what it can. “They addressed the majority of the ethical issues — the stuff that made them look bad — and now suddenly the story is ‘It’s just sad,’” Nowinski said. “What people are missing is that football has gotten more ethical, but it’s not necessarily safer.”

If you don’t do the thinking, the thinking will be done for you.
