Head Bangers

Season 2 Episode 2

Head Bangers

Overview

In today’s episode we are taking no prisoners. We are getting right into one of our modern day calamities. Every weekend we play and or watch contact sports. It’s in our blood, it's at the root of most of our cultures. Yet we continually fail to learn the lessons some of our finest athletes take the brunt of, year after year. This is not a joke. Damage to the head will affect everyone around these people, not just them!
