CTE Crisis Hits Former NFL Players | Global News
Description
A jaw-dropping new study reveals that nearly 98% of former NFL players who donated their brains showed signs of CTE — a degenerative brain disease caused by repeated head impacts. Most of these hits occurred before the NFL, in high school and college, highlighting how cumulative trauma over time is the real culprit. While the league claims to be prioritizing player safety and has already made changes and paid billions in settlements, this research serves as a brutal wake-up call for football at every level — urging immediate, preventative action to protect young athletes from lifelong damage.
