Mayo crew spent Saturday morning performing preseason concussion testing on 9-13 year old athletes. Baseline scores on King-Devick are used for future sideline concussion screening. Improving immediate recognition = better outcomes.

With so many field side solutions that are more direct and objective measures of brain function like @oculogica, @kingdevicktest and @wavimedical - to name just a few - there’s no excuse for this negligent treatment.

How can we not revisit everything McCrory has touched? Some of his worst offenses aren't even out yet, but more is coming. Current #concussion & #CTE policies are good for sports, but rarely good for athletes.

“It is very hypothetical, the science is not black and white,” said Sweeney. “There is no scientific proof of the causal link between #concussion and #CTE, that is not a proven thing"
Had to check the date there. Is this really sport position in 2020?

On left- old leather #football. It weighs 14-16oz
On right- modern synthetic football. It also weighs 14-16oz
Can we stop with the myth that old footballs were heavier
Yes, they might have got heavier when wet, but also got considerably slower = less impact #heading
