    Football is fun. Players seem to enjoy playing it. Head bashing has been much less prevalent the last few years.

      The largest CTE survey of dead former players had like 99.5% (if I recall correctly it was 199/200) of players with signs of CTE at their time of death. This is players from high school, college, and pro levels.

      Obviously it's just one observational study, but that's not a good baseline for the sport.

      Not passing judgements, though, for people who watch it. I played football through high school and still watch soccer which has its own problems with CTE.
