Even the relatively minor "trauma-rette" of hitting a soccer ball with your head is associated with permanent brain damage. Our brains were not made for being hit a bunch of times.

If a soccer ball can do that then I imagine fighters have tons of brain damage.

Have you heard Mohammed Ali or George Foreman speak now?

Also, what do you think will be the discourse when OJ’s brain is confirmed to have CTE? If we have proven cases of brain damage dramatically altering personality, if a person with CTE commits a crime, are they responsible? I’ve heard people with long term use of certain drugs have “dead spots” on functional MRI scans; would those same scans reveal similar results for people who have experienced a TBI or ten?

Science, always providing answers that lead to more questions.

Ali is dead, but he had Parkinson's disease the second half of his life. I haven't heard Foreman speak lately. Does he sound fucked up?
