Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 2276901, member: 874"] They say that because they don't understand the repercussions. In their mind an ACL ends their season, a concussion keeps them out for a game or two. Again, CTE isn't just about concussions. I would hope a healthcare professional would grasp that. I don't care about the opinions of current players. They lack perspective. Retired players are the ones that understand the cost. Regardless, this thread wasn't about pros. It's about high school kids. And studies are showing the earlier someone suffers brain trauma, the more likely they are to have problems later in life. BTW, I work in healthcare too. A high percentage of my patients suffer from some form of dementia. I see first hand the toll it takes on them and their families. [/QUOTE]
