Frank Gifford and the NFL's Concussion Crisis
The Hall of Fame halfback and sports analyst, who died earlier this year,
suffered from a degenerative brain condition brought on by head trauma.

Fans of Gifford might remember that he initially retired from the sport
after suffering a major head injury during a game in 1961, which sidelined
him for nearly two years.
.
Football has never been more popular, but public interest in the
concussion epidemic is only growing. Consider Concussion, the upcoming
Will Smith film biopic about a medical whistleblower, which is slated for
a Christmas Day release.
.
The negative attention is forcing the NFLs hand as former players who
suffered brain trauma behave erratically or even commit suicide and
current players are walking away from the game early. Last week, former
NFL players asked a Philadelphia judge to throw out a $1 billion
class-action settlement with the league because it failed to address CTE.
.
According to a ongoing PBS Frontline project, NFL players have already
suffered 108 concussions through 11 weeks of play this season. While the
league has instituted new protocols, just this week they were criticized
as insufficient after Case Keenum, the quarterback for the St. Louis Rams,
failed to be removed from the game after suffering a concussion on Sunday.
.
The disclosure of Giffords diagnosis, particularly given his stature, will
add to the NFLs publicity woes. But it also presents the league with yet
another opportunity to do more.
