Understands math, but apparently not how selection bias invalidates statistical inference: the "study" is no study at all. The brains examined were donated by family members who believed the decedents had CTE. All that the "study" established is that CTE is easy to identify in late term.
It certainly does NOT imply or even come close to suggesting that 99% of football players will suffer from the disease.

I think he understands it better than you do.
He never said there was a 99% chance of him developing CTE.
His actions say that the chances of him developing CTE if he keeps on playing football are higher than he wants to take. If we were talking about my brain, that would be somewhere around 0.001% as an acceptable risk.
