A Letter To Mr. Franklin

Given how deeply ingrained football is in American culture let me start gently - Don’t you think football is dead? 

Ok, maybe not gently.

The severity of CTE is really not one for one with the number of concussions one suffers. Ive notice this seems to be the dividing line in many people’s minds. Maybe if we can get rid of concussions we can get rid CTE. Except, no. 

If simply playing the game with one’s brain as a peanut bouncing around inside a skull, it bouncing around inside a helmet, can lead to CTE, is there hope? 

Acceleration/deceleration injury seems to be enough. 

If that’s true - it’s a sad day for football. 

And it’s a sad day. 

Its over. All the technology in the world wont stop CTE. It’s over. 

Sorry
