There has been a few sports stars that have died, donating there brains to science to study the effect of longer term concussion. Found to cause some serious problems.

FYI in Aussie rules, when a player is confirmed with concussion, they have a mandated 10 days off, also 2015 no. 1 picks career derailed from it. Serious stuff
