Is There a Link Between Brain Disorders and Football?
Hang Up and Listen discusses the authenticity of the NFL in light of a recent exposé linking football with brain disorders.
On this week’s Hang Up and Listen Slate Plus bonus segment, hosts Stefan Fatsis and Josh Levin try to break down the NFL-Industrial Complex. Last week, the NFL’s senior vice president for health and safety, Jeff Miller, revealed that there was a link between football and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The announcement caught both football fans and seemingly, even the rest of the NFL, by surprise. But did Miller just make a huge gaffe, or was his admission intentionally transparent? Hang Up and Listen has answers.
