CTE will end football as we know it. Forgone conclusion
Or the science will actually catch up to all the conclusions people/media have already drawn and discredit many of it. I worry more about lawsuits now hurting the game on the lower levels- especially if high school and Pop Warner leagues can't get insurance.
Meaning you don't believe in the current science on football and CTE?
Excellent question. It's that type of "viewpoint" that galvanized ignorant lawmakers in Texas...Florida (and elsewhere) to allow ANYONE to challenge science or history they don't like. No peer reviews. No common sense. Just stick your head in the sand to facts. And because Texas buys more schoolbooks than all the other states, publishers cave and alter history, science, etc.
A) Do you believe there is currently enough research to justify the conclusions that both you and AllAboutTheU have seemingly made about CTE?
B) Total weak sauce and lame to lump me (and MANY respected neurosurgeons) in with the Texas school board and Dept of Ed clowns.
You guys that jump to conclusions are just as bad as those that'll always be deniers. But sure, that Will Smith movie was very convincing.
Treudeau will soon sign a bill that will enforce equality of outcomes in the CFL.

I dont think the science is complete. However , probabilities state that if science has been suppressed and there has been organized and well funded efforts to suppress it for decades than it is essentially a guarantee theres a public health risk.

All this said, CTE talk is one notch below political and gameday sock color option talk on this board. I apologize and will now go run some steps.
World is definitely getting soft. NFL is limited to 14 padded practices during the season
CFL is a playground for facquits.

Don't beat yourself over the head over it....
Watching pti and they were talking about how this could eventually trickle down to the nfl all the way through high school. If so my coaching days are over....

That repetitive blows to the head over a long period of time can lead to severe brain injury and trauma latter in life?
Yeah.
Groundbreaking stuff.
I'm sure we need to wait for tons more research on this.
