CTE-Disposability of Men Call for Submissions: Who Pays?

the Editors

—

Join  for our Disposability of Men/CTE Convocast

Tues 9 pm EST/ 6 pm PST

“Who pays for the damaged brains?”

We will be asking the following questions on the call:

When a student suffers permanent damage, who takes ownership of care costs?
Loss of future earnings?
Loss of productive life?
How do we deal with people who believe student injuries “God’s will” as opposed to poor/ overzealous coaching or not enough regulation?
Why do athletes still want to slave for NCAA and NFL, NHL, other contact sports organizations — especially when they see what injured players have to endure?

After the call, you can collect the ideas into an article for The Good Men Project.

What did you learn from it all that you can share with other readers? (Be sure to include your “AHA!” moment!)

We want to read your point of view. When you’re ready to submit, click one of the colorful boxes, below.

The Disposability of Men/CTE Social Interest Group

Tuesday at 9 pm Eastern / 6 pm Pacific

The Disposability of Men/CTE Social Interest Group will begin by focusing on concussions, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), and violence, but we will also expand out to discuss the larger issues of how men are treated in times of war, in times of crisis, in the workplace, and how they are portrayed in the media. This is a way for people interested in these issues to come together to talk about it in a community of people who can learn, grow, and create social change together, whether through writing on the topic, creating videos, podcasts, activist campaigns, and building a network to amplify our message. The Disposability of Men Social Interest Group will create content, interface with other groups working in the area, and forge a path to actual social change.
