Concussion Activist Chris Nowinski Speaks Out on Linda McMahon

Chris Nowinski — the Harvard grad and World Wrestling Entertainment performer who had to retire due to multiple concussions and then founded the Sports Legacy Institute, which promotes reforms of head-trauma policies in sports — maintained a dignified silence on the Senate candidacy of former WWE chief executive Linda McMahon.

But when another WWE alum, Lance Cade, died at 29, and McMahon denigrated him as another one of those addicts whom she’d only met one time, Nowinski had had enough. This interview with the New England Cable Network, in which Nowinski says McMahon “kicked dirt on [Lance Cade's] grave,” is a must-view:
