    Thats insane though. The impact of these sports are rather known but it is hardly preventing anyone to engage in it. It is always other people that will get it. Kind of like boxe or even motorbiking

    Rugby star Sébastien Chabal won two Six Nations titles with France, reached a World Cup semifinal and played 62 times for his nation as a powerful forward.

    But he does not remember any of it due to memory loss stemming from the concussions he sustained as a player.

    “I don’t remember a single second of a rugby match I played. And I don’t remember a single one of the 62 Marseillaises (national anthems) I experienced,”
