A footballer dies of dementia, younger than he shouldA 14-year old-rugby player is told to play on through multiple blows. He never wakes up from the last oneA scientist reveals a pattern of brain disease in NFL players and is discreditedA survivor of domestic abuse can' t remember details when standing up in courtThis is the story of the degenerative brain disease, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). This is a story of power, of science and sport, and of the bodies that society deems worth sacrificing. In 2019, Hana Walker-Brown created The Beautiful Brain, an award-winning podcast about West Bromwich Albion hero Jeff Astle and CTE. A Delicate Game explores the passion and fury of sport, truth and justice, violence against women, privilege, love, greed, hope and redemption. It' s going to change the way you think about sport forever. For fans of She Said and Bad Blood.
Praise for The Beautiful Brain ' I can' t even tell you how many women and their caregivers found us and joined our support groups thanks to The Beautiful Brain and Hana' s work on TBI in Domestic Violence because I have lost count! There is a true power in this work. ' -- Katherine Snedaker, Founder and CEO of Pink Concussions I can' t stop thinking about its core message - the breadth or argument and depth of detail are remarkable -- Gillian Reynolds * The Sunday Times * ' It' s gripping and essential - if often overwhelmingly poignant and righteously enraging, as much a call-to-arms as a piece of investigative journalism. ' * Esquire Magazine *
