My heart breaks for former NFL star Chris Johnson, who has been diagnosed with ALS/MND at 39.
Surprised there is no mention of NFL players having 4x the risk of ALS than the population & that it appears related to repetitive head impacts & #CTE. More: https://t.co/jB73rbBW9U

We are deeply saddened by the loss of former NFL All-Pro Aldon Smith, who died Saturday at age 36, and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones.

His legal team announced today that Aldon’s family decided to donate his brain to the Boston University CTE Center, noting he suffered multiple concussions during his career. Their decision during such a difficult time is an extraordinary act of generosity that may help protect future generations. We join Aldon’s legal team in asking that his family be kept in your thoughts as they navigate this tremendous loss.

The family of Aldon Smith has decided to send his brain to medical experts in Boston to see if CTE played a role in the former NFL defensive lineman's death. https://t.co/INGD37N7C5

If true, it could be simply because captains have greater playing time. But I wonder if there is more to it, specifically because of the traits that made them leaders in the first place: toughness, self-sacrifice, playing through pain, and putting the team ahead of themselves.

Those qualities are admired in our culture. But if it comes with unknown, unseen risks to brain health, we should talk about it.

What do you think - could the very traits that make someone a captain may also make them more vulnerable? Should we track down these records for everyone?

My take on Giants RB Cam Skattebo saying CTE is not real?

Disrespectful.

He's since apologized calling it a “tasteless joke,” but as someone who knows the stories & the families of the almost 400 NFL players diagnosed with CTE, there is nothing funny about it.

Skattebo has been given a gift by these families - the gift of knowledge. He now knows he's at risk for CTE. Those who built the NFL did not. He benefits from their support of CTE research.

We need football players like him to stop denying the science and join us in the fight to end the disease so we can find a cure in their lifetime.

[Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. @ChrisNowinski1]

NFL & Giants star RB Cam Skattebo does not believe #CTE is real.

“You think CTE is a real thing?

“No. Its an excuse”

Will football ever offer guys informed consent? Nothing wrong with choosing to play, but why does it have to be under false pretenses?

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

MAGA attacks a man—for using the men's bathroom.

"Why don't you go to girl's bathroom?" MAGA yells.

"Because I'm a boy," he retorts.

"They don't want transgender women to use women's bathroom and don't want gay men to use men's bathroom... Guess I'll just piss on the floor?"

The incident occurred at a party near the University of Missouri on New Year's Eve. #DemsUnited
