Looks like someone read one article in "Parents" magazine our the local paper and suddenly became a neurologist. People get concussions everyday in everyday life activities. Is football a dangerous sport? Yes, of course. But a lot of sports are dangerous. Spend enough time around high school and college athletics and you'll see all sorts of injuries, some kind of gruesome. 
I have two high school kids in NJ. They have to undergo a baseline neurological test before participating in sports at their school sou that they have a record for comparison if the ever hit their heads. Concussions are tracked Concussions are getting serious scrutiny nowadays. It's far more likely that you are off base than Dungey but being properly assessed/treated.

If you're really interested, check out the work of Dr. Mark Gordon, who works with war veterans who have suffered brain injuries. He has had a lot of success treating veterans with nutritional supplements and testosterone therapy. He is trying to get funding and support for wider studies because he thinks this can help many, many people who suffer from post concussion problems, including CTE. Unfortunately, he is hitting a lot of resistance from the medical "establishment" in this country.
