He came here from Nigeria on scholarship because he was disillusioned over an election. Bubble wrap for everyone!
Castration at birth is the only solution.
I’d bet CTE is common in anyone who has had a active lifestyle.
An important part of this story is that the families of those players responded to the researchers doing the study. The families of the players who exhibited symptoms of brain injury would be the most likely to respond, so these results would be skewed.
If Troy Aikman, who had 11 concussions, can still call football games on TV, it shows that not everyone who plays is similarly affected.
I still remember fifty five years ago when members of the local high school football team, and after graduation, were drafted and rejected by the military due to football injuries.
Meanwhile, the rest of us, who did not play football, ended up in SE Asia.
Well, football does seem to get some of the kids pretty beat up. I discouraged it—my buys played hockey.
But allowing one’s child to take hormones to change them from one sex to another is NOT child abuse?
So sayeth former mass emailer Dr. Bennet Omalu.
Some,including Rush,claim that this is all a leftist plot to weaken American culture.While that's clearly true with "climate science" it must be acknowledged that it very well might not be true here.
And if it's in Texas, that district attorney will likely end up swinging from a lamp post....
Where's the study on people who played football but aren't steroid riddled behemoths? As far as I'm concerned, long term health trends of NFL players need to always be viewed through the lens of "they took steroids that push the body beyond normal human parameters for years, nothing about them is normal and none of it applies to normal people".
It's like saying people who stay at a certain motel all have bad teeth so there's something wrong with the hotel. Oh yeah, it a seedy hangout where everyone who hangs out there is a meth addict. But that's not relevant to the study.
Actually, children participating in cheerleader squads suffer head concussions... When will they begin referring to parents allowing their children to participate in cheer-leading squads as child abuse?
Hey Doc...giving children vaccinations with mercury in it is abuse.
“The most common cause of nonfatal choking in young children is food. At least one child dies from choking on food every five days in the U.S., and more than 12,000 children are taken to a hospital emergency room each year for food-choking injuries.”

Math 365 days/ 5days =73 deaths a year!
Not let your child near food. /s

Yeah right. But to chemically castrate young boys and eventually mutilate them is no problemo.
All sports are dangerous. Baseball players have been killed by bean balls. Tennis players have broken their arms while chasing balls. Surfers have been eaten by sharks.
so is allowing kids to ride bikes child abuse too? Skateboard? Rollerblade? Take martial arts? Wrestling? All carry risk of concussions
A few years back, they did a study of protective gear worn by football players. They found that the much older pre-WW2 equipment did not protect as well, but there were far fewer injuries, because the players took more care not to injure or get injured. The modern helmets, face protectors and shoulder pads are used as weapons and players know that they protect better, so they take less care at avoiding injury for themselves and others. Result: more and more severe injuries.
Examination post mortem, that leads me to believe that you can find whatever you want to find.
