"but if you think CTE is a rare condition for someone who spends years treating their heads like a crash test dummy’s you are in denial."

I don't recall typing anything close to that. Questioning the sampling methodology of a study that comes back with a 99% hit rate is a far, far cry from proposing CTE is a 'rare condition'.

This is why its getting harder and harder to factually discuss anything. If I state CTE is 'rare', you can chastise me...but at least wait until I do it.

Did you read the rest of what I wrote? Or the very and ever imports and word “if” in my statements? Since tha sample set is self selective no doubt the rate is higher than the norm in the set, but that doesn’t make a counter case that CTE is rare.

The NFL knew, knew before CTE was ever discovered that about 30% of former players would have cognitive and other issues later in life and covered it up and lied about it for years.
