it would be an easy conversation if you understood the relationship behind correlation and causation. Unless you have access to some autopsy reports that haven’t been made available to the public yet, you have nothing to go off on for this young mans case other than your desire to diagnose every “high level football player” with CTE (unless you want to use articles like the one you linked referencing people that played in Super Bowl 4, an interesting choice). If we want to go down that route of not ruling out things if he drank we can’t rule out liver disease causing encephalopathy, if he smoked we can’t rule out metastatic lung cancer to his brain causing erratic behavior. Yall didn’t like science class for a reason it’s clear. Most people in the field of science like to go off of data and so far “he played football” isn’t enough data to put something in the conversation unless you have more evidence to support your claimAnother fukking idiot
He played high level football. The end. Yes, that is EXACTLY why CTE is possible. Literally only bc he played football. Like is this a joke
And wym ‘evidence to corroborate my claim’. What’s my claim? Your poor reading comprehension—-or determination to be contrarian——wants to believe my claim is “He did this bc of CTE or he had CTE’. That is false. My and others’ claim is simple: CTE cannot be ruled out. The evidence to corroborate THAT claim is listed above. CTE was found in 92% of former players, as well as his abnormal behavior.
This is an extremely easy conversation to have if you
have a modicum of reading comprehension and stop trying to stay on code. Again, grow up
Like literally waiting a few weeks for an autopsy with evidence of CTE would make this all a moot point but yall like jumping on everything to be first
