But, alas, not the only one. According to doctors, since August 2024 this is the seventh death associated with a concussion received during American football matches. The death toll included two other players even younger than Burnett.
And then doctors from the University of Michigan cited numbers that horrified many. In the United States, where sports are very active, 3 million 800 thousand people suffer concussions of varying severity every year. And not only in such traumatic sports as American football. Of course, in both rugby and even football, the number of concussions is increasing and increasing.
Even the World Health Organization has taken notice of the problem. She called for it to be resolved as quickly as possible. But how? By improving athletes’ protective equipment. However, the most modern protective sports equipment does not help either. The speeds have increased, the stakes even in amateur leagues are getting higher. And there are more and more deaths.
