[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys, the thing with CTE that is unique to football is not the concussions. You do not need a concussion to experience brain trauma. It's it's the drills and the concussive movement of the brain around the skull. A concussion is just a small part of the overall problem. I just think it's very important that people are informed and knowledgeable so that you don't catch yourself making false comparisons to soccer and cheerleading. dementia and Alzheimer's are also one small part of the problem. If you look at the depression, suicide, and aggression rates among many football players you will see they are rather out of the norm. it's just good to ask ourselves if it's a game that is worth putting our children and future adults through TBI and CTE.[/quote] If you don't want your kid playing, then don't let them play. Please don't impose your values or fears on others.[/quote]
