Dangerous Game

Injuries are a part of any sport, but they are especially common in football. The concussion problem facing football players has received plenty of attention recently with studies done for the National Football League on the effects of the injury on players. National news organizations like ESPN talk about the injuries often, especially with the new rules and fines for helmet-to-helmet contact. I talk to Oak Grove High School's Certified Athletic Trainer Kevin Mauldin to discuss concussions in football. He says that they are very serious injuries, but there are also other injuries to be wary of.
