    People are unique individuals and react uniquely to their brain damage caused by repetitive acceleration/deceleration head injuries due to American Tackle Football. The best approach to this CTE problem is to ban Tackle Football. I’m a retired neurosurgeon and I have advised many young men to not play football, there are better things to do with your brain.
