That's all true, but I'm not sure you can even blame current generations. Yes, the knowledge that football or boxing cause heavy brain damage is pretty widespread, but nobody is telling participants that when they get into the sports. A youth football program isn't going to emphasize how dangerous it is when kids get older, and you'll see even less discussion about that among players and administration as they get older. I doubt that a newly drafted college player will be asked by the coach "hey you know you'll get concussions regularly, right?" So is it really their own fault? Or is it an institutional issue?
