[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 311130, member: 932"] Yeah, but to be fair to [USER=1428]@Milwaukee[/USER], there are studies saying that 70% of people who have ever played football (even at the youth level) have CTE. I don't think the studies they have put together have near the statistical significance to back these claims up. It's kind of like Fox News and CNN saying "80% of Americans believe X" when they polled 1,100 people in New York City. If you only examine the brains of players that committed suicide or had behavioral issues, you're going to find what you're looking for. To make the claim that 70% of kids that played Pop Warner football have CTE, you'd have to examine millions of brains from deceased individuals that both played youth football and did not. [/QUOTE]
