I believe there should be full disclosure about the long term effects of participation in sports that cause frequent mild brain trauma (football, boxing, etc). I understand it’s not a popular position to take but I’m concerned about the long term health of collision sport athletes. Obviously not everyone who participates in these sports are going to have serious brain injury but it makes sense that there is probably a dose response. Obviously, the most common of these sports is football. Please read more and education yourself.
