Nah. The only nonsense is you thinking that saying "Period. Stop." Ends a discussion.

I never said there wasn't CTE in other sports. I said the research hasn't spread that far yet and that the nature of football makes it likely that it's worse there. My guess, and it's not much more than that, would be the order of CTE risk amongst the sports mentioned in this thread would be football, hockey, soccer, lacrosse.

It's your perception that football is being singled out. Research has to start somewhere. Studies are emerging about hockey and there is at least one lawsuit against the NHL. Of course football would be the most talked about, it's the most popular sport. I'll be interested to see how the research plays out over the next decade or so.

There will always be risks regardless of the sport. Going so far as to say people should just play tennis or golf instead of endorsing the idea that we should pay attention while research takes it's course so that people can make informed decisions is moronic. I get it though. Going to the extreme with how you express your opinion is your way of attempting to shut down an argument.
