Costas...Football destroys people's brains...

^^^These^^^ Just about every board I've ever been on has discussed this and there are still people who do not understand that concussions are only a part of this. There are far more soccer players in the world than football players. If concussions were the cause of CTE why don't we see a parade of soccer players with the symptoms shown by NFL players? Folks need to understand how foolish they make themselves look when they start cataloging the sports in which concussions are possible. IT IS NOT JUST CONCUSSIONS!

Are you saying that concussions alone do not cause CTE but rather contact does?

Repeated sub concussive trauma is the more likely cause. Not that concussions don’t contribute or aren’t to blame.

That is how I understand the science.
