I took quite a few blows to the head when I was younger and I'm still the smartest around here.....
LLLOOLLL

Boil it down sir!!Guy loses job, fights with wife, wife leaves with kids, house gone, family gone, guy kills himself.
Guy plays football makes good $, woman, lifestyle, guys stops playing football, no more money, no more woman, no more lifestyle, guy kills himself.
I don't see much of a difference.
I mean, he's welcome to hold that opinion. He's wrong but it's his right.
The scientific link between CTE and football is so overwhelming that to deny it at this point is no less absurd than claiming vaccines cause autism.
Do the poor kids work incredibly hard to get there, or are they blessed with natural, God given abilities that regular people like you and me can only dream about? Maybe it’s a combination?
Ever seen what goes on in a high school for a star football player? Ever read about the corruption starting in middle school for players who are able to dominate in sports?
I work in a high school that has sent about 7 or 8 players to the NFL over the last 15 years. I have seen it first hand- everything literally handed to them by the time they were 13 years old. Sure they work hard in football, but many frequently neglect everything else, including school work and even school attendance.
This narrative you push about the families making a ton of sacrifices to put them in a position to succeed is mostly not true. Maybe in some cases- overwhelmingly it is not.
So a guy that played football all his life and now coaches football gets no opinion even though he might not know a single player that he played with or coached that has shown signs of Brain DamageYes, I'm supposed to accept the opinion of a former football player with no medical training whose livelihood depends on football?
Got it
It is not just a stereotype if he personally lived it several timesWow. I really appreciate your endorsement of numerous stereotypes here.
God given talent over effort.
Jocks being allowed to ignore academics.
Lazy families not contributing.
You keep on grasping to these beliefs! It must be threayening to think that these kids and their families actually work harder than those with more advantaged backgrounds.
Another conspiracy theory related to scientific findings...really? We just gonna keep doing this every time the scientific community tells us something we don't want to hear? Happened with tobacco, global warming, vaccines and now CTE. The scientific community is not out to get us.Actually, the scientific data is incredibly weak. The conclusion was written well before the testing. The Scientific Method is all but dead in that world.
Can brain injuries lead to problems later in life? Of course. Especially for certain people apparently.
My kids are high-level athletes, and I've spoken to many doctors about this. There is very little understood about why some people are very prone to concussions, while others are not. Why do some deal with issues later on, while others heal fine and never experience an after effect.
The problem is, there's a huge agenda, particularly in Academicia, to eliminate football altogether. (The target is the American sports conscious, and football is at the top, so cut the head off the snake.) That ilk detests the attention it gets and the acquiescence they have to give it at big schools.
Old people deal with mental regression.. Not playing football won't change that. And playing football isn't necessarily a cause for any of it.
This study just began. Making conclusions is just lazy and predetermined.
Schlereth played a long, long time, and he's more intelligent and coherent than 95 percent of the planet.
There are many examples of times when the scientific community has taken and twisted data to fit a certain narrative.
Global Warming????? .........You just spiked your own caseAnother conspiracy theory related to scientific findings...really?

LMAO, tell that to those people being evacuated because of a 30 story piece of iceberg in the vicinity.Global Warming????? .........You just spiked your own case
Global warming is biggest hoax ever based on juked numbers and voo doo science
So a guy that played football all his life and now coaches football gets no opinion even though he might not know a single player that he played with or coached that has shown signs of Brain Damage
But some Harvard study with a Small Sample Size of hand picked brains is the gospel truth....I think that line of thinking is very short sighted
If less than 1% of players are affected by CTE then football may not be the cause
My Great Aunt used to say that if she had to do something 20 times a day for 50 years before she got sick then maybe it wasn't that dangerous and she lived into her 80's smoking and drinking whiskey
It seems to be such a hit or miss disease, I wonder why players like Butkus, Singletary and Woodson don't have it? Or Atwater, Plank or these other D players that hit like freight trains and no way their heads weren't involved.
But it seems evident that Tony D has it and it is very sad to watch him try to string together sentences. But I have yet to hear him say he regrets his career.
Don't you love it when people with absolutely no real knowledge on a scientific subject come to the conclusion (because they've decided to politicize something that has nothing to do with politics) that an entire scientific field (made up of individuals from all around the world) has it wrong about its particular area of expertise? Yes, all of the scientists are in on the hoax together and so are all of the countries outside of America that take this problem seriously. Only that small percentage of you have it right, kudos!Global Warming????? .........You just spiked your own case
