Repeated blows to head during practice/drills/scrimmage/game day is said to be worse then the concussions people suffer.

NFL players see more blows to the head during a prolonged career then anyone else. They are the extreme cases.

What about those who play youth, high school and college? Rates of CTE are prob higher then people think. This group just isn't donating their brains to the study.

What we now know about the blows to the head and we let children under 8th grade play is really an eye opener. Those developing brains are most suseptible to awful side effects.

Yes I love football....yes I played HS football....yes I played college football...yes I was close to playing in the NFL. But not sure I am gonna let my sons do the same with all the info we have now.
