Cluster of Stakeholders

Every action has consequences, sometime many that involved parties do not even consider. This cluster maps the effects of the controversy and course of action the NFL takes regarding the notorious concussion dilemma, which has cost the league quite literally a billion dollars and portrayed it in a negative light. The neglect of the presence of concussions over NFL history has also cost many families a brother, a father, a child - several current and former NFL players suffer from a chronic and detrimental neurological condition, CTE, that has resulted in severe mental impairment, such as failing to walk down stairs or recognize their own child, and sometimes even death, such as former player Junior Seau's tragic suicide years ago. The involved parties of the league officials, NFL players, and team doctors all hold stakes in what the league decides to do going forward and the cluster represents the consequences of each course of action.
