re: Roger Goodell “The average NFL player lives five years longer than you,”

I'm not sold on the CTE issue yet because of the lack of control research. I'm not saying it's not real, I'm saying I'm not ready to decide either way until more data is available.
With that said, I don't think Goodell could these situations any worse. He just comes off as a pompous a-hole that won't concede anything about anything.

people will hate, but this is true.
You need a controlled research.
If I analyzed 100 football player brains at the age of 80 and saw degeneration, I can't say it was from CTE because there's no control group to compare it with. Its a researcher bias by saying it was from a single cause when reality is that it could be from aging.
Do I think its real, yeah, but the extent of it that they're pushing...I'm not so sure.

Maybe I'm confused on what you're saying. How can you not be sold the CTE is an issue? It's real.
Do you mean CTE being more of an issue with NFL players? Is that what you are wanting more research? Or are you saying you don't think it exists at all in the real world?

control in which way?
like randomized control? wouldnt there have to be some other method established in order to reliably determine cte plus you would have to compare it to the method that currently determines cte. of course with doctors their expert opinion could vary.
id rather see a larger sample size, perhaps get nfl rookies can have their brains rescanned after every three seasons seasons until they retire.
as the technology for helmets improve, the nfl player will get bigger faster and stronger which leads to harder hits on the brain.
i dont see this cte issue getting resolved anytime soon
