Bout damn time 
I still don't understand this whole CTE thing. Is this a joke I'm not in on. Since I was a child I inherently understood that head trauma causes brain damage. But you know what. Like why was this ever news everyone ever involved that was shocked by CTE is an idiot no exceptions..
i think the amount of the brain damage is more surprising than the fact it exists for most people
Not surprising, Bettman has been 
whenever the topic of CTE comes up. Fighting will be outlawed in 10-15 years and the rages those Canadian cacs will be 
. Probably also for the best, the less physical play and hits, the more wide open, speed, and offense will flourish imo.

Carcillo was a dirty rat scumbag that played like a reckless crash test dummy that endangered everyone on the ice. 
look at this psycho
people aren't going to feel sorry for guys like this. They don't feel sorry for Eric Lindros and he was a million times a better hockey player. But he was a dirty player too. In hockey it's expected when you do dangerous shyt that you'll get payback, don't be mad when it happens to you 
The information surrounding head injuries has evolved so much. Not just for sports, but for everyone. People don't even have to get hit in the head to suffer a head injury. The league has changed some rules to make certain hits illegal, and is much better when it comes to suspending guys. The league post lockout (after 04) when the rule changes opened the game up, and guys were flying around taking heads off. Players being taken off on stretchers way too often, and players not being suspended properly for dirty hits.
Culturally, the sport is safer than ever. This coincides with more information came out for everyone. Players aren't running around trying to cave heads in anymore (they actually have respect for eachother
), fighting is down, etc. Dirty rats like Carcillo, and the fighting goons don't even have jobs in the NHL anymore. The game is still physical but not nearly as violent.
There are still dinosaurs in the game. It's hard to tell though because hockey has a "tough guy culture" culture players want to stay on the ice and continue to play. It's glorified by everyone (media, players, managers, fans, etc.). Player discipline was definitely bad in years past. A lot of "hockey people" are stuck in the stone ages, this attitude is a problem in many sports but when it comes to concussions it's obviously a bigger issue.
The criticism is that the NHL doesn't admit it? Part of that has to do with the lawsuit I'm assuming. And the other part is not wanting to remove hitting from the game. Eliminating all headshots (head hits that are deemed intentional are already supposed to be banned AFAIK) won't solve the problem. Once they admit the link, I guess they are forced to make these changes? It opens up a can of worms. Hockey is a really fast game with a lot of moving parts, incidental head contact is unavoidable IMO. The issue is a lot more complicated in hockey than it is in football with a lot less money (and scrutiny which also slows change).

You have to be a certain height to even be eligible for the NBA. It's an unrealistic goal for most athletes.
