This video is horrifying and one reason I don't like watching football. Ben McGrath does some insightful commentary about the sport and shows some examples of incredibly hard hits that football players receive on the field. This is just one solid example of the excellent video work that the New Yorker is doing as they see the benefit of "showing and telling" for a story like this. My brothers both played football with my older brother Will playing Varsity for I think four years during high-school. College and high-school football games never seemed as violent as the current pro-football games we see examples of here, as the writer describes the hits a head receives in football today as being similar to what boxers face. You can see it here. Had to turn away at some of the slow-motion replays........
