Traumatic Brain Injuries in Sports

"An estimated 300,000 sports related traumatic brain injuries, TBIs, of mild to moderate severity , most of which can be classified as concussions, occur in the United States each year" according to Brain Injury Resource center. As most of us agree, Injuries are part of a professional athlete’s life and any athletes at that, we all go into a sport knowing the consequences, but refuse to quit. Today, Sports-related brain injuries or any injury can unfortunately happen in many countless ways and end ones career or life.  Luckily, In the last several years, sports trauma, injuries and concussions have received a lot more attention and scrutiny. So much so, that rules in certain games are changing, and laws are being implemented to keep athletes of all ages safe and able to continue playing.
Adrian Arrington, a former football player at Eastern Illinois University, was the first to sue the N.C.A.A. over concussions in 2011, claiming negligence related to the handling of several head injuries he sustained in his career (NYtimes).
