Rather, that it wasn’t a conspiracy, because CTE is only diagnosed in an autopsy and even then only when they are looking for it. More likely that Pop Warner and youth school football contributes to it than playing in the NFL. From a risk-reward perspective one of those isn’t like the other. If you’re worried about it, don’t play youth football or box at a young age. Concussions, now that’s a different story. We already had a long thread on that. Heart attacks? That has more to do with the individual than the sport he’s playing. I don’t think football is high risk for cardiac events. Any endurance sport would be higher risk. For Commotio cordis, it’s almost always caused by projectiles, a small dense object impacting at the heart.
