From playing high school football?  The kid never played in college.  Didn’t even practice.  Get a grip.  [/quote]

Yes, it has been shown in studies and it does not even take a concussion to cause it.  They have found it in high school football players who have not suffered concussions.  So even the constant lower-level collisions are leaving a mark. [/quote]

I said this many, many posts back. My first thought was CTE.[/quote]

Brain studies published since 2019 have shown CTE in brains of deceased who never experienced repetitive hits to the head.  The studies coming out of Boston University’s CTE Center (where the majority of the research has taken place) have major selection bias problems.  Even the famed Dr. Omalu has credibility issues, publishing “scientific” articles with his business partner, a plaintiffs’ attorney based in West Virginia.  All this to say what scientists know about CTE is in its infancy, the diagnosis is being used and abused, and to blame CTE rather than the shooter for this tragedy is beyond premature.[/quote]
