I’m sure my values are just different, but it is hard to hear people complain about sports CTEs. I can’t get this itch out of my brain that it’s more about signaling that you yourself aren’t the brutish sort that would approve of such violence.

But then again I’m generally suspicious of people strongly condemning the free, legal, and informed choices of others.

And yet, when I watch videos of these guys at 50 barely able to speak, it makes me sad, so I support changes that reduce the likelihood of CTE without sacrificing the nature of the sport. Which yes, is inherently violent.
