The body on the slab in front of him belonged to a fifty-year-old named Mike Webster, aka "Iron Mike," a Hall of Fame center for the Pittsburgh Steelers. After retiring in 1990, Webster had suffered a dizzyingly steep decline. The search for answers put Omalu in the crosshairs of one of the most powerful corporations in America: the National Football League. Iron Mike's mental deterioration caused by blows to the head that could affect everyone playing the game-- the one truth the NFL wanted to ignore. 600 10 Omalu, Bennet I.|q(Bennet Ifeakandu) 650 0 Brain|xConcussion. 650 0 Sports injuries. 650 0 Head|xWounds and injuries. 650 0 Football injuries. 650 7 Brain|xConcussion.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00837600 650 7 Head|xWounds and injuries.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00952611 650 7 Sports injuries.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01130688 914 MID.b24517288 914 FARM230977 994 C0|bCKE
