Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2375300, member: 780"] First of all, a tiny fraction of the military goes through it. Secondly, it's a lot about sleep deprivation, hunger and thirst and running and climbing ropes and log barriers. Seal training is as high intensity as it gets and that's a lot about being cold and lifting logs Pugil stick fighting gets you some whacks on the dead and parachute landings not executed properly. There's little in it like football contact that I saw. But still, military veteran's and boxers were the two groups famous for high rates of CTE. Could it be that we really have very little idea what causes CTE? What if the reverse were true. That is, people with CTE or who are prone to getting it are also prone to being very good football players. [/QUOTE]
