CTE is essentially the exact same thing as Dementia Pugilistica discovered in the early 20th century. He did popularize a better name, he did realize it was happening in football, and he was attacked by the NFL for this. We know almost nothing about it, and we won't for quite a while.
On the other hand, he's incredibly biased. He has no understanding of the many benefits of football and he doesn't want to understand them. He can't fathom the fact that the vast majority of players benefit from football far more than it harms them (yes, even those who never get paid), and he does exaggerate quite a lot. Football was always a risk, for me, it was worth the reward. I honestly don't think I would have made it through med school without the lessons I learned in football. It was one of the great blessings of my life. |
