Boxing is dying because they have made it extremely difficult for people to watch.

I thought he died of a seizure in the shower? Seems like his death wasn't because of CTE but he still may have had issues.

Football has way, way more contact incidents to the head that don’t cause immediate injury than the NHL. CTE is caused moreso by a thousand paper cuts, not just a few bad concussions over a career.
I understand that completely.
My point is, with CTE clearly being an issue, if we want it solved, what sport should promote it? Obviously, that answer is football. The media will care more about it.
A sport full of white guys on skates? Yeah, the media doesn't give a shite if everyone of those guys dies tomorrow.

I had four diagnosed concussions before age 10. I wonder what my brain would look like under study.

Weird thing to inject race into.

I remember seeing a television report that showed that soccer was second only to football in CTE cases. It was due primarily to all the headers that soccer players engage in over the years. A soccer ball is a lot harder than people realize.

How much CTE in the general population?

That would be pretty hard to find
Probably a higher % in the vet community though
We are supposed to document any time we use heavy weapons or explosives
The military has become very proactive about CTE and TBI related issues before they get out of hand.

There’s a slight difference in the headgear worn between rugby and football.

You already know why

Hmm…I wonder if the heavy metal community has high rates with all that head banging.

I wouldn’t say it’s crickets in boxing or mma. I think it’s just that it’s also very obvious that they accept that risk.
Agree. And not to be rude about it, but a solid swath of the public probably views modern boxing and MMA as semi-degenerate sports involving a lot of unsavory/reckless participants, so it'll just never get the same attention anyway.
