For yall that dont know, a concussion is a rather common brain injury that happens when the head is literally shaken in the skull, hitting the sides and becoming "bruised" in a sense. The concept of the concussion was popularized in the NFL and other football leagues, where there were several instances of repeated concussions morphing into, among other things CTE, which causes brain atrophy, suicidiality, apathy, and depression, which lead to a sort of plague of suicides in the NFL.
But what if the concept of the concussion was merely laughed away when it was proposed to the NFL, and no changes were introduced? My thought is that Football Players would not be the social juggernauts they are now, since suicide rates would be markedly high in football players. Also, there would be more teen suicides from CTE, meaning that the stereotype of the "untouchable High School Football Player" would never exist.
What do you think a no concussion world would be like?
