Football article, injuries

The article I found in the New York Times was about head injuries in football. It was published Oct. 21, 2010 so it is a fairly new article. I liked the article because it gave me facts about head injuries in football. It also gave definitions of medical words that had a great deal to do with the article, and the article didn’t assume that its audience knew what the words meant. Over all I liked the article because the detail it gave about the topic and it stuck to the topic.
