Behind the Scene Scandals That Took Place At ESPN

Football Connected To Brain Disease

In 2016, the NFL finally admitted to the connection of football head injuries and brain disease. During a discussion at a committee meeting by the U.S. House of Representatives, Jeff Miller, the NFL’s senior vice president for health and safety, was asked about whether a link between football and brain diseases such as CTE exists. Miller replied, “The answer to that question is certainly yes.” Soon after, ESPN released a statement standing by Miller’s words saying, “The comments made by Jeff Miller yesterday accurately reflect the view of the NFL.”
