The results of a new study may have some parents rethinking whether they allow their children to play football.
Three million children in the U.S. play in tackle football programs. While many doctors and scientists have taken a look at the impact of concussions, new research by Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center studied the impact of less serious blows to the head that are common during games.
