    Most importantly the NFL will get to keep pretending everything is fine.

    fuck. this is depressingly plausible.

      Or maybe they’ll do the exam but the results will be inconclusive and the brain will end up misplaced so that his family can’t have have their own tests done. Hell, the NFL might start adding clauses to contracts that require players to donate their bodies “to science” upon death. Don’t they already require them to use “NFL approved” doctors? Anything to keep independent doctors from diagnosing CTE in their dead players.

      Can’t even enjoy some sports without having to watch late stage capitalism grind humans into pieces.
