Another MND diagnosis in rugby. Another family devastated. How long until @WorldRugby @RFU acknowledge the obvious @WillStewNeuro @AndrewW93733842 @AlixPopham @ProgressiveRug @RhonddaBryant @Tommo33s @ChrisNowinski1 @peterrobinson86

This documentary is unquestionably a powerful & often emotional watch
Sadly it finishes with a quote from @WorldRugby who should frankly be ashamed as actions speak louder than words as their continued empty rhetoric is harming the game they’re charged with protecting & growing
This is a must watch. Incredible and so powerful - Rugby has to change.

More than 500 ex-rugby players will be allowed to pursue legal action against the sport's governing bodies over brain injuries allegedly sustained during their careers, a court has ruled

🖤 We’re honoured to welcome Sky Sports’ @HayleyMcQueen to our Lunching & Launching charity lunch with @MiddletonHall Retirement Village.
After losing her father, Scotland and @ManUtd legend Gordon McQueen, to CTE, Hayley knows all too well the devastating impact repetitive head impacts can have on families.
Hayley has been a strong supporter of Head Safe Football and recently said:
“I’m grateful to Head Safe Football for the support and education they’ve given us, and for the work they’re doing to help people understand what this means for the future of the game.”
Now, Hayley will join us as we launch our national petition calling for stronger protection against brain injury linked to repetitive head impacts.
📅 Wednesday 9 September 2026
📍 The Marquee, Middleton Hall Retirement Village
🎟️ £65 per person

CTE is NOT just a professional sport problem.
The brain doesn't suddenly start counting impacts when a player signs a professional contract.
The brain doesn't know whether you're being paid.
Player protection must begin wherever head-impact exposure begins.

🏉 Protecting players doesn’t weaken sport.
Recognising concussion, removing players safely and following return-to-play guidance protects the people who make sport possible.
Player welfare must come before the scoreboard.

🧠 Domestic abuse can cause brain injury too.
Repeated blows to the head and strangulation can have lasting neurological effects — yet survivors are still frequently missed.
We need brain injury awareness within domestic abuse services.

‼️⚽ Head Safe Football wholly endorses this article from The Conversation UK
Yes - we must ensure that we have appropriate diagnosis and return to play protocols for concussions. But concussions are not the main problem.
The key issue is repetitive head impacts (RHIs).
How many? Over what period of time? What g-forces?
These RHIs are the cause of progressive CTE dementia and associated mental health symptoms. Quite simply, heading a football damages young brains.
That is why we promote our slogan ‘THINK HEAD SAFE: reduce heading in training.’ Prevention is the only cure.

🔬 Brain injury research is moving quickly.
Biomarkers, advanced imaging, wearables, AI and new rehabilitation approaches are all being explored.
There may not be one breakthrough — the future will likely combine many tools.

Conversation
One conversation.
One shared post.
One person feeling less alone.
Never underestimate the power of awareness.

💙 Sometimes support starts with one simple thing:
Being believed.
Brain injury symptoms can be invisible, unpredictable and difficult to explain.
Listen before you judge.

Veterans
Brain injury isn't only a sports issue.
It affects veterans, emergency services, road traffic collision survivors, domestic abuse survivors and many others.

🧠 A normal CT or MRI does NOT always mean there is no brain injury.
Concussion often doesn’t show on routine scans.
Symptoms and clinical assessment still matter.

Ask for Help
Asking for help isn't weakness.
It's one of the strongest things you can do.

💙 Brain injury affects families too.
Partners can become carers. Relationships can change. Roles can reverse. The future you expected may suddenly look very different.
Families and carers need support too.
