HBO To Profile Chris Nowinski's Sports Legacy Institute Tonight On Television
Chris Nowinski’s Sports Legacy Institute issued the following announcement today:
“HBO’s Real Sports returns Tuesday (10 PM ET) with a two part follow-up to the Emmy Award winning piece from 2007 on concussions in the NFL. The original piece will be followed by a completely new report featuring the work of SLI.”
USA Today reports “HBO’s latest Real Sports, debuting Tuesday, features Chris Nowinski, a medical researcher who studies head injuries among NFL players. He says he has pledges from more than 60 NFL players for, after their deaths, their brains to be donated to study effects of concussions – ‘some of these guys are doing it honestly to protect their own sons’ who play football.”
The story, reported by Bernard Goldberg, will highlight the efforts of SLI and the BU CSTE and interviews with Chris Nowinski, Dr. Cantu, Dr. McKee, Eleanor Perfetto, and Ted Johnson.
