I wonder how many concussions are too many before CTE is a concern.

Since we all know that concussions and CTE are caused by climate change, probably not many.

Supposedly the problem isn’t really just the hard blows to the brain that cause concussions, although getting more blows to the brain after getting a concussion might make it worse. It is the moderate blows the brain receives over the course a football career into the pros. Any time the brain is jarred, or changes direction rapidly, like maybe just falling down.

The problem is it seems that not everyone has the problem at the same severity, at least as far as functioning. That’s why there are some guys that don’t have any symptoms and some do. At least that’s my theory.
