New lawsuit points finger at Pop Warner for mismanagement of head injuries

Kimberly Archie wants “CTE” to appear on youth football helmets, not unlike a cigarette warning label, and is suing to make it happen. She’s one of two plaintiffs (so far) in a lawsuit filed today against “Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc.”

Archie is the legal consultant who appeared in the recent SI story “Endgame”, about football’s murky future amid increasing caution about head injuries. She is described within that piece as “Erin Brockovich with a neurologist’s grasp of traumatic brain injuries” and comes by that knowledge honestly—and tragically. Her son, Paul Bright, was an aspiring chef who died in 2014 at the age of 24.
