Vincent Jackson Found Dead
- Thread starter uBear
- Start date
Saw the news that Vincent Jackson was diagnosed with stage 2 CTE. I am not sure what the NFL can do about this but I found this statement interesting:
"That his brain showed stage 2 CTE should no longer surprise us; these results have become commonplace," McKee said of Jackson. "What is surprising is that so many football players have died with CTE and so little is being done to make football, at all levels, safer by limiting the number of repetitive subconcussive hits. CTE will not disappear by ignoring it, we need to actively address the risk that football poses to brain health and to support the players who are struggling."
