Goodell is one of the most powerful men in America. Underneath the shell of Roger lies an out of touch, and greedy individual. Let’s start with CTE.
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a progressive degenerative disease found in people who have suffered repetitive brain trauma. It’s well documented that the NFL has been downplaying concussions and dangers of football for decades. CTE was originally discovered in 2005 by Dr. Bennet Omalu and is one of the most dangerous threats to the NFL. 87 out of 91 deceased former NFL players autopsied have tested positive for CTE as of Fall 2015. Despite the glaring horrific statistics, Roger Goodell and the NFL still deny there is a link between CTE and football.
League doctor Joseph Maroon appeared on NFL Total Access
this past March and proclaimed, “
The problem of CTE although real is it’s being over-exaggerated and it’s being extrapolated to youth football and to high school football”.
Dr. Maroon I challenge you to tell the family of Jovan Belcher who killed his girlfriend, drove to Arrowhead Stadium and killed himself in front of the Chiefs GM and head coach that CTE is over-exaggerated. Or the family of Junior Seau who committed suicide while suffering from CTE.
This is the same family that received calls from NFL management during Seau’s autopsy denouncing Omalu’s professional ethics, qualifications, and motivation. Dr. Omalu was then removed from his position as the Brain Injury Institute. Let this sink in: The NFL deliberately ruining the reputation of a renowned scientist in order to cover up the connection of CTE and pro football.
Much more at link.
