Demaryius Thomas, a star NFL player, had CTE when he died in December at 33, doctors announced. But the posthumous diagnosis alone does not explain what role football had in his quick decline.https://t.co/5P26wqXNBE— The New York Times (@nytimes) July 5, 2022

"Mmm yes, this deceased NFL player had CTE at the time of his death, accepts check from NFL but we still don't know if repeatedly getting his head knocked around by some of the most athletic people in the united states contributed in any way whatsoever"

    I have a brother who played American football through college and he's terrified of what's waiting for him in middle and old age because of five concussions. All so he wouldn't have student loans.
