What side do you want them to do? You just cried and moaned about how the league is soft the other day. Talking out of both sides of your mouth.
Kneeland took his own life. Do we know it was due to stage 1 CTE? We don't know that. People have mental illness without CTE or concussions playing a role.
We don’t know but a lot of these guys that are having similar fate have CTE. Is it coincidental? Maybe:
We aren’t there yet but there are people who watch Madden games and bet on them. We probably are that far from someone trying this. We always have AI musical artists…
Just because some people don't care about CTE doesn't mean it is because they want to watch football. Otherwise they would care? People make unhealthy choices every day, with what they consume, and what activities they engage in. I don't care about someone playing football because they might get CTE any more than I care about someone smoking because they might get lung cancer. I'm not going to stress over how people choose to lead their lives.
How many with stage 1 CTE or worse don't do this? Are we checking everyone? How much do we know? Is it 1 in 10, 1 in 1000, do we even know?
I personally don’t know. To be honest this is the first time I ever heard stages be applied to CTE. When Chris Henry died I don’t recall seeing what stage he had.
Here's my question. How do we know that this number is higher in athletes than it is in the general public? I am guessing that Joe Blow that dies of a heart attack or in a car accident or from terminal illness doesn't get tested for CTE.
I think the league is soft and also I think that CTE needs a lot more study and research and you only care about watching the game
Why do you keep bringing up the game lol? Who said anything about the game? You’re the only one that keeps mentioning it lol.
insensitive how and to whom? You are so desperate to virtue signal and use shame as a tactic...if you only knew what that says about you. You never bow out gracefully...you resurface like a turd.
You got it champ! You’re right.
It’s the same with people smoking. You can’t stop everyone from making mistakes. It’s a known risk and they are compensated massively for it.
Players salaries aren’t going up purely because they want more. They share close to 50% of the profit the league makes. The league makes more money, so do the players.
Great point. People know cigs will kill you but millions still do it…great example.
Did you actually read the article? It cannot be determined what percentage of players have CTE. Most of the brain donations are from people suspected of having it.
You can’t only make the NFL responsible. If it’s widely known and you choose to play anyways, you bear much of the responsibility.
What happened to personal responsibility? It’s on you if you don’t take it seriously. Just like the example about smoking. Smokers don’t think it’ll happen to them.
