Brain injuries in contact sports are no laughing matter, but sometimes it takes satire to bring to light the urgency for reform. The hit Comedy Central show Key & Peele just released a short where a quarterback is sacked and suffers a concussion. After his head collides with the turf he brings calls the huddle and begins a motivational speech that quickly veers into the ridiculous. One of the key takeaways from this video is how topical head-to-turf injuries have become to, not only the NFL, but to all contact sports played on artificial turf surfaces. Safer sports starts from the ground up.
