we can see their brains have rewired themselves to skip around the parts that are affected."(Football, 1). Again, humans have incredibly advanced brain technology (although some prefer not to use it). When the brain is hurt, like any other part of the body, it will cover up the affected area and work around it. When this happens, and the victim is examined, they are going to walk out of there with no worries because the brain looked like it was ok. But if examined even closer, the small overlooked area could be caught and treated.

Does a single concussion that overlaps other concussions or separate concussions result in permanent brain damage kind of like those of which have diseases like Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases? Is there a certain amount of hits you can take to the head, or concussions, that could put you at higher risk of developing CTE? Is there any way genetics can put someone at a higher risk of developing permanent brain diseases (Dangerous, 1)? There is so much lack of knowledge and uncertainty on the subject it creates more questions: How can we keeps sports safe and not derail the whole point of the game? Should we make things stricter or just ban contact sports and high speed sports all together, especially for the younger teenagers and children that are involved (Dangerous,
