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?
My son played in elementary school through high school. It was very therapeutic for him and me.
He decided to play tag football in his 20’s which requires no equipment. Although very exciting, almost every game ended with broken bones.
I’m grateful he quit after one season.
@LnzyHou Tag football is less dangerous since broken bones can mend, but the brain can't, it is a permanent damage!
Plenty of concussions too
