@ Landes You're right that techniques in the lower divisions are hard to find, good football techniques i mean.. And that doesn't help at all. Leaving paint on the other helmet is not proof of masculinity or proof of a perfect tackle. That idea was there for years and unfortunately, it still is here...

Well .. it looks like this topic is not really alive in Germany .. Too bad, because it's really important .. Is it disinterest or are they being oblivious ? I just hope everyone understands that no one is invincible and that it doesn't have to be the severe CTE you get later on, the daily "mild...

Agree and you're absolutely right !
And in the "perfect world" they provide good information to all adults so that they can make a balanced decision for their (sporting) future ...

Well.. to my knowledge, football is the most risky sport of the list that are listed to cause braindamage the most. Braindamage wich can result in CTE. Those sports are Football, Rugby,, MMA, Icehockey, Boxing and Wrestling. By far Football is considered #1... And yes, off course you can have the sa...

Sorry, but I don't want to insult you, but these will not remove the cause either. Reduce a little yes, but take away no .. And that is really a utopia, conceived by people with different agendas ... My main concern is for people to know what they are getting into after being fully and honestly info...

Thanks for posting ! Very recognizable, how he tells about himself and about football of the past .... Good article .. Although not only the concussions are the culprit. We must not think that if we prevent it, Football will be a safe sport! Of course these are bad hits if you are left with a concus...

@ DarkMorgana2 Totally right. Can only be definitively determined post mortem. For the time being, you can only have a serious suspicion if you have the symptoms. And yes, there will be more as I that become aware of their possible (mild) CTE at a later age and with current knowledge. I too played i...

@ Booya... No, contact and blows to the head will always be there in football. You can get the hard collisions (leading with the helmet) away but never the blows to the head. A header in soccer is already a blow to the head so i don"t have to explain have fast you get those in football.. Lineme...

Besides Concussion, "League of Denial" is also recommended. Can be found on YouTube by the way. Is about how the NFL has dealt with this issue. Speaking of the NFL ... It has already been established with high school players ... So you don't have to have played in the NFL for it ... So if ...

Yeah, I was already afraid of this. And these kind of cases will come more with the years.
That's why it' s important, I think, that there will be enough education about this so that everyone can make their well thought decision..

Booya .. You often only notice the symptoms at a later age. I stopped when I was 35 and I am now 55. You also have to compare your behavior with the past, otherwise you will not be aware of the change. I haven't heard of anyone about it either but I can't be the only one. Had I not looked into it, I...

I want to raise a topic that I am currently working on a lot and that is Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) This is a brain disease that occurs in several contact sports such as ice hockey, mma, rugby and football. It's caused by repeated blows to your head, it doesn't even require concussions. ...
