CTE (Defined in the article) just may take the game we love away from us. The movement has already started and Nicks story below will certainly add fuel to the fire. We all know that congress loves to stick their nose into everything but taking on a sport as popular as football may be a political loser. The problem is that athletes influenced by concerned parents are already Opting for other sports. Additionally there seems to be no limit to legal exposure. Will we be seeing colleges and High Schools being sued at every hint of mental disfunction even if it occurs years later. This issue definitely has wheels. I am personally conflicted. I was part of the The Miami Dolphins booster club in the late sixties- early seventies era and knew personally some of the players on the undefeated team. Sadly some of them have cognitive disorders as mentioned below. The question is how many and what is the percentage of the whole team as compared to the general population percentages. I am also a NASCAR fan and have witnessed recently Dale Ernhardt and Carl Edwards two of the sports most popular drivers leave the sport partly due to similar concerns. Thoughts!
