Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive and fatal brain disease associated with repeated traumatic brain injuries,
It often leads to cognitive impairment later in life for those young people who experienced repeated concussions, and yet..
We allow this to happen even in very young boys who play football.
Yes, Football is followed by millions (in the US), as it is considered an essential entertainment!
Banning football seems like an impossible task, or is it?
@Helveticus While CTE is most prevalent in American football and boxing, it is also not uncommon in soccer, rugby, hockey and wrestling. Probably MMA as well.
I don't know the answer, but banning a sport or multiple sports seems like a step the world is not wiling to take.
@misslovelymess I played soccer for 20 years and had plenty of headers but luckily I am OK in my old age!
