Someone has been opening the brains of dead athletes and they have found "chronic traumatic encephalopathy" in 4/5 brains of formal football players. As it turns out, we all knew concussions were bad, but no one knew how deep the damage really was:
"The damage affects the parts of the brain that control emotion, rage, hypersexuality, even breathing, and recent studies find that CTE is a progressive disease that eventually kills brain cells."
I guess the part that confuses me about all this is that we're just now figuring this out.
