I guess I have to post it on this board and thread, too.

[URL='https://www.bumc.bu.edu/busm/2018/01/18/study-hits-not-concussions-cause-cte/'][SIZE=5]CTE is not brought about by concussions.[/SIZE][/URL]  It is brought about by the constant banging of heads that American football has and no other sport does.  Please remember that Mike Webster was Patient Zero for CTE.  He had far more subconcussive contact than concussions from big hits, etc.  The science will not back up any lawsuit against soccer about concussions, so no one is going to monetize anything there.  More people have played in more soccer {or fill in the name of another sport played worldwide here like rugby} games at all levels and got more concussions worldwide than we'll ever have in American football.  They are not showing the symptoms of CTE like American football players are.  And, yes, the researchers are looking for them.

A quote from the linked article - “Our experimental results showed no correlation between concussive signs at the time of injury and CTE brain pathology. These findings provide strong evidence—the best evidence we have so far—that subconcussive impacts are not only dangerous but also causally linked to CTE,” Goldstein said.
