In the NFL, the risk of concussion is far greater than for almost any other sport. While continued improvements to helmet design and stronger regulations against dangerous play may help limit such risk, one serious issue has yet to be resolved—the return to play. Immense pressure is put on injured players to return to the game as fast as possible, which may ultimately increase the risk of re-injury.

The Atlantic, for many, is an ocean… the world’s second-biggest body of water, the resting place of the Titanic, and the ocean that does NOT serve as home for Sharknado.
