Louisville bank mass shooting suspect Connor Sturgeon had so many #concussions in football he wore a helmet in basketball.
While nothing completely explains such a tragedy, it's time we recognize a pattern

BREAKING: the Australian Football League @AFL has reversed their position on #CTE & now "supports & adopts" that CTE "is caused in part by repeated traumatic brain injuries", aligning with @NIH.

"Prestigious medical journal retracts nine more articles authored by #concussion expert Paul McCrory"

This is quite remarkable.

"BMJ, said ... that their trust in McCrory’s work was “broken”."

How can we not revisit everything McCrory has touched? Some of his worst offenses aren't even out yet, but more is coming. Current #concussion & #CTE policies are good for sports, but rarely good for athletes.

🚨New Research🚨A large multi-year study sponsored by the NCAA & US Department of Defense found that higher post-injury King-Devick Test scores were reasons to remove athletes from play & predictive of athletes who will have long-term concussion recovery.

Breaking: Muskox, who repeatedly butt heads like football players, develop #CTE.
If you aren't yet convinced repeated head impacts cause CTE, this should put you over the top.
Curiously, the most severe case seen in a female.

That's that then. Guess I should retire

"@FIFAcom latest governing body to review links with #Concussion in Sport Group"

The failings and deficiencies in CISG have been clear for many years to anyone in the field. Now, finally, it seems sport is realising the error of listening to the group.
