Brainwashed Book the bad science behind CTE

[Southshore Husker]

Anyone who loves football and I’m not going out in a limb to say you do if you are on this forum, please read the op-ed in this link

or go get a copy of this book to to better inform yourself on how they are trying to destroy football with bad science. Then you will be able to have all the talking points you need when discussing with the Haters and misinformed parents.

I like the parents who say my kid is playing soccer instead.Hits to the head/concussions much worse.

Just because the science behind the study that gave us the now famous "110 out of 111" results is flawed (which it is), doesn't mean CTE isn't a genuine risk associated with football and multiple concussions.

Unquestionably. the problem with the study is it doesn't address youth or high school football so it doesn't cover the spectrum of actual players, regardless of age or level.

Which is exactly the point of the article. They aren't saying football doesn't have it's risks. It's saying that the message that most people took from the original study is that you will DEFINITELY get CTE if you play offotball (110/111). This article specifically says we need more information before we all just jump to that conclusion.

we need to stop the football at the college and professional levels.
as this is the stage of brain malfunction that does not return or repair itself.
at the youth level, these do not affect your brain traumatically, even at the high school level, if you were to sustain a few concussions, your brain would mend itself before adulthood and beyond.
it is the constant shaking of your brain after it sets again. college and pro hits(even bumps) rattle your brain inconsistently with its function. (boxers would be the best for clinical studies).
maybe I should have been a doctor. or maybe I should have asked a doctor.
or maybe I should not have taken so many hits.

I have had this conversation with my son, who is a Biology PHD candidate. We discussed at length how a study could be flawed and skewed without the correct controls in place. From this article, it appears that there were no controls at all.

I am very biased but this study always seemed very flawed.

The youth program my kids played in used to have 5 or 6 teams per age group. This year they had a total of 7 teams combined for all age groups. Whether it is real or not it is destroying youth football.
