As a scientist and NFL widow, I am furious about a recent NFL Players Association-funded CTE study

1

The NFLPA-funded study claims NFL player suicide rates increased, attributing this to heightened CTE awareness rather than the disease's effects.

The author critiques the study's methodology, highlighting significant limitations and potential biases in its findings and conclusions.

CTE is a severe health crisis for NFL players, with over 90% of studied brains showing signs of the disease, strongly linked to dementia.

The author argues that the study distracts from addressing CTE and its consequences, instead of focusing on suicide prevention and awareness.

The NFLPA's research funding is criticized for producing narratives that minimize the real risks of CTE, impacting public health discussions.
