RE: An American Tragedy: Story of Mike Webster, Pro Hall of Famer & CTE
I totally agree with you @madila that young children should not be doing contact sports under 14 years old. They say CTE can be worse for them because it just starts with one hit. Parents need to know this and everyone needs to pressure the research areas to find ways to treat CTE. It is truly a horrible condition and very difficult on the victim.
Thank-you for your support and comments. It is deeply appreciated that you read my article. Thank-you!!!
I had a friend who got injured in high school and found out years later that it was undiagnosed and he spiraled out of control in his 30's after a car accident.
Thanks so much for highlighting this tragedy in athlete's lives.
@madila, I really appreciate your sharing of this unfortunate situation with your friend. People always wonder why so many people are going crazy, when all they have to do is look at the history. We all need to be more aware of what is happening around us. That is why I am using Steemit to educate as much as I am able to.
After reading about Mike Webster's story I have since been driven to bring to light what we are doing to our children and to ourselves. I appreciate your comments and do wish you well in each and every coming day. Thank-you so much!!! :D
