abstract = {In December 2015, the movie Concussion was released. The film portrayed the story of Dr Bennet Omalu, who is credited with discovering chromic traumatic encephalopathy in the brains of deceased National Football League players. Before the release, on December 7,2015, Omalu penned an op-ed in The New York Times in which he opined that children should not play tackle football. This research explores 114 reader comments on Omalu's op-ed through the lens of Nisbet's bottom-up framing. Using a mixed-methods approach, the results indicated that participants framed the issue through health and safety, American cultural values, parenting liability, and skepticism. Linguistic analysis revealed that comments contained a negative tone, with women's comments being more negative than men's. The analysis suggests that online news forums function as spaces where public deliberation around the viability of children playing tackle football occurs and illustrates the tensions around risk, sport participation, and health and safety that confront parents as they grapple with the decision to let their children play tackle football.

abstract = {We conducted a questionnaire survey regarding mouthguards (MGs) in which the subjects were American football players who were users of non-custom-made MGs, and assessed their effectiveness. The questionnaire was administered twice, once before a custom-made MG was prepared and again after it was used. The replies to being asked whether or not they were dissatisfied with wearing the MG showed that the number of players who were dissatisfied decreased after using the custom-made MG. There was no dental trauma with either MG, but non-dental trauma in the oral area and cerebral concussions were both less frequent with the custom-made MG. We think that to improve the frequency of MG use, it is necessary to eliminate the dissatisfaction with wearing them and increase their usefulness. We also think that using MGs with superior fit and wearing comfort that can be worn throughout the entire game will be effective in preventing trauma and cerebral concussions. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR},
