Performers:  Read by Hillary Huber. Summary:  "Dr. Bennet Omalu discovered something he could not ignore. The NFL tried to silence him. His courage would change everything. In 2002 forensic pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu, in a dingy morgue in downtown Pittsburgh, made a discovery that would rattle America in ways he'd never intended. The body on the slab in front of him belonged to a fifty-year-old named Mike Webster, aka "Iron Mike," a Hall of Fame center for the Pittsburgh Steelers, one of the greatest ever to play the game. After retiring in 1990, Webster had suffered a dizzyingly steep decline. Toward the end of his life, suffering from dementia, he was living out of his van, tasering himself to relieve his chronic pain, and fixing his rotting teeth with Super Glue. How did a young man like Mike Webster end up like this? The search for answers would put Omalu in the crosshairs of one of the most powerful corporations in America: the National Football League. What Omalu discovered in Webster’s brain -- proof that Iron Mike’s mental deterioration was no accident but a disease caused by blows to the head that could affect everyone playing the game -- was the one truth the NFL wanted to ignore. Dr. Bennet Omalu was the first to publish findings of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in American football players. He is the author of the 2008 book Play Hard Die Young : Football Dementia, Depression and Death. His crusade is the subject of the PBS documentary FRONTLINE: League of Denial available on YouTube. The motion picture Concussion (2015) stars Will Smith, Alec Baldwin and Albert Brooks"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Adult books on CD. Other authors:  Huber, Hillary.
