Award-winning journalist Vicki Mayk raises a critical question for football players and their communities: Does loving a sport justify risking your life? This is the insightful and deeply human story of Owen Thomas - a star football player at Penn, who took his own life when he was 21, the result of the pain and anguish caused by chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

A CTE Interventionist's Perspective
Revisado: 01-22-21
This story honors Owen Thomas well. It also perpetuates the sociocultural narrative which exalts violence. When it is mentioned that 99% of football players don't get CTE, we wonder why. Genetics, perhaps. Rehab processes and lifestyle choices following head trauma, probably. Social conditioning to venerate and utilize outward violence as the narrow end of the funnel through which we are taught to filter the majority of our internal emotions and experiences...the research on this topic is going to be invaluable in making sense of the valid correlative findings of the brain researchers.

For as long as ZJ can remember, his dad has been everyone's hero. As a charming, talented pro football star, he's as beloved to the neighborhood kids he plays with as he is to his millions of adoring sports fans. But lately life at ZJ's house is anything but charming. His dad is having trouble remembering things and seems to be angry all the time. ZJ's mom explains it's because of all the head injuries his dad sustained during his career.
