Congress to NFL: Explain actions on research
And yet they will still make billions and billions because no one will stop watching games. I always say this now to people around me. If i wasn't this huge into the Pats...i would have been out a long time ago
It is worse than that. It is impossible to weigh the risk because the risk of CTE from football is unknown, and the NFL would like to keep it that way. When the NIH decided to fund a BU study to develop a diagnostic test for CTE while people are alive (currently only diagnosed at autopsy), the NFL pulled their portion of "unrestricted" funds. Doubt is their product.Unfortunately, Kraft and his pals did not let others decide if its worth the risk when they paid off researchers and publications to publish false information.
Kraft, and his pals, did not let others decide if its worth the risk to keep playing after injury by having team doctors, and a highly incompetent nfl head doctor, minimize the long term damage and greenlight people going back into games.
The Kraft apologists have become curiously silent. Where art thou?
They're becoming a rarity nowadays. That tends to happen when the evidence that the guy is a scumbag is overwhelming.
The baseball steroid commission was a national embarrassment.
I have to think that one of the things the NFL is the most afraid of is a minimally-invasive test that can diagnose/measure the extent of CTE damage in living people.
Because if such a test is developed, NFL players and college players and probably HS players will be taking that test each year. And if it shows CTE and that it increases and that it's meaningfully-different than the amount in the general population, football is toast.
