Concussed Media

Concussed - Sport’s Uncomfortable Truth is the definitive account of sport's concussion crisis, how its 'dirty secret' was finally made public and what rugby union must now do to save itself. By recounting the untold story of the most influential sports campaign in British newspaper history, which turned concussion in professional rugby from a niche issue into front and back page news, Concussed poses the questions all sports lovers need answering as evidence grows linking sports-related concussions to premature deaths and dementia. Further to the release of the book, the team behind the campaign are running a series of events, with a view bringing this critical issue to the forefront of the public discourse. Our mission is to promote healthy discussion, build awareness and eventually make rugby, and indeed all contact sports better and safer for all.
