Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a condition that may result from head injuries, especially in athletes of contact sports like boxing or football. The condition slowly damages parts of the brain and may cause trouble with memory, other thinking skills, behavior, personality, speech or balance.
So, when the NFL encourages an unsafe sport that damages the brains of their members to the point that they can no longer find the correct elevator to the floor of the NFL, that’s not the NFL’s fault? They’re out there encouraging people to concuss themselves stupid every single day. “It’s safe!”. No, it isn’t. It’s dangerous, and nobody gives a shit about the player’s brain damage.
I’m glad to see the players fighting back. Maybe it’ll spark yet another discussion about football players and boxers not having enough protection for their sport.
“Not enough protection, we need better equipment”
“So, you want a higher salary, right? Because we want to see blood and injuries. If you don’t want to do it, we’ll find someone else willing to lobotomize themselves for a way out of crushing poverty. Why do people think the NFL is evil?”
I know it’s probably a coincidence, but it feels very on brand for USA that instead of playing football like the rest of the world, USA decided to replace football with a game where you carry an egg in your hands and give each other brain damage.
Brain damage is a consequence of of other sports as well, but the braindead hand-egg meme already betrays that you don’t actually want to think about it.
