From the gladiator arenas of history to the rugby pitches of today, athletes have always sacrificed their bodies for sport, with grievous bodily contact consistently celebrated as the ultimate performance of toughness and masculinity. But at what cost? This is the story of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease caused by repeated blows to the head, and whose impact in the sporting world is only now coming to light.
A Delicate Game is a searing investigation that explores the truth about brain injury in sport and beyond it, from the social dynamics that send young men into violent and dangerous pursuits to the scientists searching for truth and the families living with the consequences. It will change the way you think about sport forever.
Beautifully written, deeply moving, and absolutely mind-blowing, Julia Ebner's A Delicate Game is a clarion call of great conviction and urgency. The Irish Examiner praised it as "a searing investigation that explores the truth about brain injury in sport and beyond it, from the social dynamics that send young men into violent and dangerous pursuits to the scientists searching for truth and the families living with the consequences. It will change the way you think about sport forever."
