League of Denial. Excellent journalism, extremely depressing.

League of Denial is a really excellent (and heartbreaking) book on this subject.

While NFL players likely knew about the risk of injuries like broken bones and ACL tears, I don't think they knew that football might cause prolonged mental issues.

The issue is that the NFL tried for years to hide that connection..

I see the conflict many NFL fans have. On the one hand, everything the NFL does is driven by profit, even if its decisions put people at risk. Any altruism it displays (pink breast cancer gear, military salutes, "No More" ads) is completely opportunistic.

On the other hand, Goddamn I love watching pro football. What a great sport and what a great production.

I never assumed anything, just that it is possible.

It's kinda weird that you keep trying to downplay CTE and how damaging it can be. Benoit was pretty weird before he killed his wife and kid, but he wasn't "kill my wife and kid" weird until he killed his wife and kid. They then looked at his brain and realized it was pretty messed up.

I would highly suggest you read the book League of Denial. CTE is not just something that can be brushed under the rug.

Most people who support football, never played the sport or were terrible players, cause good players cant avoid the headaches.
