NFL season is here but I won’t be following anymore. I can’t un-see the harm it causes! Football’s CTE problem is real—divulging the NFL’s dismissal of the disease and downplaying of concussion issues Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative tauopathy associated with repetitive head trauma, including concussion and subconcussion and this is causing harm in the NFL league. High-contact sports like football have long been associated with a domineering, patriarchal form of masculinity linked with violence and misogyny. Combine this culture with abusive coaching, high rates of brain injury and concussion, and a win-at-all-costs ethos that ignores the misbehavior of players as long as they perform on the field, and the NFL can be considered complicit in the ongoing violence committed by players. Time for a change! #nfl #concussion #CTE #brain #brainhealth #braininjury #tuaTagovailoa
