Ravens, MedStar Tackle Issue of Concussions

Jameel McClain knows what it feels like to be "dinged," or hit so hard in
the head that he felt dizzy.
.
It was his rookie year with the Ravens, and he said he ran down the field
straight into three offensive linemen. Team doctors kept him out of the
game until he was more himself.
.
But that caution was not always the way for the Ravens or the National
Football League, where McClain said players have embraced the ethic of
playing through pain. That has trickled down to many youth leagues where
the long-term damage inflicted by concussions has also been ignored.
.
Top officials with the Ravens and their doctors at MedStar Sports Medicine
say they want to change the culture in area sports.
.
"When in doubt, sit it out," said McClain at the end of a new public
service announcement filmed as part of an effort by the Ravens and MedStar
to raise awareness about the long-term dangers of concussions and teach
youth athletes, as well as their coaches, parents and teammates, how to
recognize symptoms.
.
On Tuesday, the Ravens pledged $125,000 to a five-year campaign of
education, research, clinical care and testing. This is in addition to
millions pledged by the NFL for research and education about concussions.
