If you've watched football this season, you've probably seen the new State Farm ad with Giants RB Cam Skattebo. It shows him repeatedly smashing his head into things during his daily life off the field. This comes after his comment earlier this year that “CTE isn’t real; it’s an excuse.”
For the families I speak with every day, CTE is no laughing matter.
CTE is a real, progressive brain disease associated with repetitive head impacts. It can profoundly affect a person’s cognition, behavior, mood, and quality of life, and its consequences extend far beyond the individual diagnosed.
For these families, there is nothing funny about the devastating toll of CTE.
@coachakcer@CoachAli_SCSB Awesome to see the fountain of youth is working! 😄 With getting younger, that means eyesight is getting better and better; spotting Gianna Capua 2028 on those recruiting spreadsheets should be a piece of cake. 😆 🤣
