But in this case, it's probably due to CTE. We know that there's a clear link to CTE from football players.

How many hard blows to the helmet did the franchise player really receive versus what a prize fighter takes in a night?

Mike Tyson remains quite cogent.

Aaron Hernandez suffered from CTE. And he was only 27.

Which should mean he would have been punch drunk by 40?

Soccer players take lots of blows to the head. Why doesn't the media hype up CTE and soccer players?

Mike Tyson may be doing fine now. But if we were to operate on his brain, it'll show signs of CTE, I'm sure.

CTE cases in soccer players raise fresh questions about safety of heading the ball

It appears that there is a risk to CTE if you head the ball. So some soccer leagues are banning heading in their games.

The World Cup may ban heading in 20 years from now. We'll continue to gather data.
