Neural plaques are ubiquitous with age. Certainly physical trauma may contribute in some cases, but in no way can be considered the sole cause in age related dementia and molecular neural pathologies which occur in old age.
There’s too much hype and politics involved with this issue.
It seems nothing is not politicized, distorted and used for a purpose these days.
It is settled science, no questions or comments allowed!
Football is bad/ soccer might be OK.

Oh, Ifinnegan, thank you so much for your post. There is definitely way too much hype in this - that recent anti-football movie about concussions, for example. Tell me that isn’t propaganda for some nefarious plan to: get rid of football altogether; make it a kinder-gentler sport; make the football players take estrogen. God only knows what it will be, but I haven’t noticed a player yet who was held at gunpoint. This man, RIP, died of colon cancer NOT CTE, and that is barely mentioned in an aside.imho
