I kind of hate to revive this thread as it's been dorman for 48+hours and probably needs to die a natural death BUT . . .
I watched Ice Guardians last night for the first time, and it was a bit eye-opening. I still don't care to see a lot of fighting in the game, but watching this made me think. I have a more open mind about it, anyway. I am not persuaded that concussion/CTE is not unrelated, especially since they are essentially two separate things. As I understand the state of the medicine on it, you can develop CTE without having a long history of diagnosed concussions. It is the repeated blows. At any rate, the players make some good arguments about liberties taken, etc. I don't know, it just put the whole topic in a bit different light for me.
