Curriculum for Today
We’ve provided a group of educational resources below. We’ve listed them in an order that we hope will build on your understanding of concussions as you go.
Unit 1: Football and Sports Industrial Complex (~80 min)
If you haven’t finished League of Denial: The NFL's Concussion Crisis | Watch S2013 E2 | FRONTLINE | PBS | Official Site (1h 53m), finish it by Thursday!
Listen to The Ethics of Football and the Concussion Industrial Complex, (80 min)
This is an excerpt from the podcast “The End of Sport” featuring Kathleen Bachynski, Assistant Professor of Public Health, Muhlenberg College, about the ethics of US Football and No Game for Boys to Play: The History of Youth Football and the Origins of a Public Health Crisis.
