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"

      The intent of those other dangerous activities isn't to cause harm to another person, especiallythe brain. CTE is proven to cause depression, anxiety and aggressive behavior. It results in higher rates of suicide, domestic abuse and other violent acts. The amount of societal harm created by engaging in these activities far outweighs any benefits. They are therefore banned.
