Let's say it's nowhere near 90%.Let's say it's 50% or 33% or 25% or, as the guy in the 538 article said, "probably more in the 20 to 30 percent range."Only a truly soft person would refuse to have their kids risk a 3-in-10 or 1-5 chance at CTE.Soft losers. Next thing you know, they won't let their kids play in traffic.
More recent data says across all individuals there is a 6% chance you will have CTE. For people that play football beyond high school (college or NFL) it rises to around 19%, with it more prevalent the longer you play. Your argument stands. Playing football beyond high school increases your chance of developing CTE by at least 3-fold.
Actually 10% to 19%. And that is also based on players playing with older technology. It is improper to say players of today will have 3X the rate, because we don’t know what the improvements made will do.More categorically sad is the media running around with the 99% claim as they did and people believe if that bullshyte. I was waiting for someone to produce that article, I wasn’t disappointed for long.
Neither is good; could see the game going any number of ways. Just saw Jennifer Lopez and Shakira are doing the halftime show at the Super Bowl. I approve.
One play, one call, can change the arc of a season. IMO, that just happened to the Lions. We will see if they are resilient enough to bounce back.
Or two calls.
So, what should the NFL do about Vontaze Burfict? Honestly, that hit should result in a six-figure fine and a multiple game suspension; it should cost him seven figures. He either needs to be made to understand that you can't deliver hits like that, or he needs to be out of the league.
Because of his history that looks worse than it is. The hit on Williams (packers) on Thursday was significantly more heinous.

Mitch maybe done for a while.
Don't no if ya kan sey dis heer, butt, Lopez' tuchus is two big, aina?
My apologies. I only read the lay-person summary of the most recent data, where it said 19%. I did go back and look at the original source material (should have done that the first time). The actual study shows that 47% of individuals that played football beyond high school had brain tissue consistent with CTE. Simply playing high school football doubled the risk of developing CTE. It was actually significantly worse than I had thought, and significantly worse than the conservative estimate that MU82 had supposed.
Big win for my Panthers. I know none of y'all watched the game, but ESPN and others will be including final-drive plays by McCaffrey and Allen on plays of the week. No such thing as a bad road win, and Houston is not a bad team. Thrilled to be back to 2-2 given the circumstance.
To the surprise of nobody but the Vikings, Kirk Cousins is not the answer.
$84M guaranteed for 3 years of that.
How was the hit on Williams worse? It was just dumb and late. He didn’t spear him with his head down or try to maim him. More stupid football like pushing a guy who crossed the sideline 2 steps before.Burfict literally tried to take Doyle’s head off. Current personal foul hits are for contact to the head, leading with the helmet, or launching your body. He did all 3.
