So much had to do with having so many concussions when I was in judo before I even got into MMA, I couldn't talk about it at all when I was doing MMA. Because it would literally put a target on my head, and I might not have been allowed to compete any farther. Same thing with WWE. They have a complicated history with their performers getting concussions, and it would be a bad look on them.

I can't do anything where I can get another concussion... [I'm] way over my limit for concussions.

Someone looking to understand America might do well to study the nation's embrace of football. N.F.L. games regularly outperform anything else on television, and, in 2025, some hundred and twenty-seven million viewers tuned in to the Super Bowl - more than ever before. As this year's championship approaches, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz are joined by their fellow New Yorker writer Louisa Thomas to unpack the sport's allure, which has persisted despite increasingly dire evidence of the danger it poses to players' health.

"With the brain injuries, you don't really see it ... until you get older sometimes," said Ward, who is 29 and just finished the first season of a three-year, $54 million contract with the Colts.

I hate the kickoff in football, Trump said in the interview aired last week. I think it's so terrible. I think it's so demeaning. I think it hurts the game, it hurts the pageantry. I've told that to Roger Goodell. And I don't think it's any safer. I mean, you still have guys crashing into each other. It's the opposite of what the game the ball is in the air, nobody's moving.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts have ruled out wide receiver Josh Downs and cornerback Charvarius Ward for Sunday's road game against the Los Angeles Chargers because of their respective concussions. Downs sustained a concussion in last weekend's win over the Arizona Cardinals, first experiencing symptoms Monday. Ward sustained his second concussion of the season during pregame warmups Sunday when he collided with tight end Drew Ogletree.

My husband's family has had a block of season tickets to our local NFL team for the past three generations. I enjoy going to the games because I like the chance for us all to be together as a family (not to mention the indulgence of stadium junk food), but I have little understanding of football. Dear Concussed Kids, I also know that those who play football are at risk of serious brain injuries.

The native of Fermeuse, N.L., resigned his position as the assistant general manager of the Sharks on Sunday, before being appointed to the same position with the Rangers on Monday. In a statement issued by the Sharks, Clowe said he made the decision to leave San Jose "in the best interest of my family." Clowe spent last season with the Sharks front office, after spending time as a special advisor for the New York Rangers from 2021 to 2024.

I don't remember a single second of a rugby match I played. And I don't remember a single one of the 62 Marseillaises I experienced.
