[Jacquie]

A very interesting article.

I argued this very thing in other threads. If they test the general public they might be shocked what they find. 

The issue is why some people experience terrible symptoms and others don’t.

We all experience brain jars throughout our lives.

This could be the very strand the NFL uses to build their defence upon to fend off player lawsuits.

And the NHL.

I think you’re right but that’s a red herring.  I think they are pretty comfortable that repeated concussions cause brain issues. 

What they have to figure out is why some people suffer and others don’t.  

I said long ago that when they have a test to find cte in live  people it could be a bombshell for sport. Either because it will embolden the irresponsible like the NHL or cause mass panic wirh cirrent athletes testing positive.

On there other hand the deceased had ALS and maybe all this does is show that CTE can come from that.
