"One thing he has not said publicly, until now: Meiko had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or C.T.E., the degenerative brain disease caused by repeated blows to the head and often associated with football."

Its also associted with drug use, drinking, diabetes, anabolic steroids and other things.
Some concusions are serious and some players more prone to them
However the CTE hysteria has a bunch of agendas behind it

It’s a violent game

It certainly is. My son plays for Delbarton and is a rising junior. We are hoping we get some Ivy interest this year but we know the risks involved, especially since my wife is a doctor and my brother-in-law is a neurologist.

They are both against him playing but he loves the sport. Luckily he’s not had an observed concussion yet but we’ve all agreed that 2 concussions in one season and he’s done with the sport.

I played for Elizabeth HS and walked on at RU for a year so I’m certainly brain damaged.
