The NFL has been making news by finally admitting it has a concussion problem. Now new research will shine the same spotlight on the NHL.
The New York Times today reported that researchers found that the corpse of fistfighter Reggie Fleming died in part from a neurogenetive disease caused by head trauma.
The news comes as nifty Congressman John Conyers held another hearing on head injuries in football.
In both sports, the ones who pay the nastiest price are the under-21 youth. Both leagues must act now out of common decency -- and to avoid overwhelming liability in the future.
