[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 985644, member: 322"] This is in the article, I think tackle football's days should be numbered. "Still, the evidence of a link between football and brain trauma only gets stronger. Earlier this year, researchers at Boston University said CTE had been found in the brains of 345 of the 376 (92 percent) former NFL players they studied. And despite rule changes and safety measures, the NFL in 2022 reported an 18 percent rise in concussions, year over year. “All these safety advances are offset by the fact the athletes are bigger, stronger and faster,” said Chris Nowinski, a neuroscientist and former football player at Harvard who is now CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation. “When people point to fewer deaths and fewer catastrophic injuries, what they fail to note is that medicine is dramatically better than it used to be. It’s not that football is safer — it’s that medicine is better.”" [/QUOTE]
