Re-Inventing the Wheel… Over and Over and Over
It turns out that the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) turned out a very detailed study on MTBI (Mild Traumatic Brain Injury) and it was released to Congress… back in 2003! Their findings are dramatic and conducted with the kind of solid methodology that all valid studies need to follow. In the Appendix, they even document the various methodology and criteria used to monitor MTBI in the U.S. And they have layer upon layer of real experts in both research AND methodology to ensure the integrity of their study. The subtitle? “Steps to Prevent a Serious Public Health Problem.” (!!!)

We would hope that the NFL MTBI Committee is well aware of this study and won’t waste any more time and money – and lives – putting out more fluff. Their efforts remind us of that Bud Light commercial from Superbowl XLII in 2008 – cavemen inventing the wheel!
