110 of 111 (99%) of NFL Players in Autopsy Study Had Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
TL DR. This wasn't a randomized study and is inherently biased, but the likelihood is that ex-NFL players have greatly increased incidence of CTE.
This is pretty alarming. The obvious solution would be to outlaw pads and helmets, but I can't see fans standing for that. I must add that you could write my knowledge of American Football on a small Post-It note.
It also makes me wonder why boxing is singled out for this, to the exclusion of all other sports.
