Boxing used to be HUGE. Lots of attention / participation There was NCAA boxing.

Yes, because MMA (which is much more violent) has taken over.

99.09% of statistics misrepresent the conclusion actually drawn

68.7% of statistics are made up on the spot. Every Steven Wright fan knows that.

Just like soldiers are willing to go to war for their countries, athletes will play football.

Is there a control group of non-football players tested for CTE as well? That's
macdizzle

I somewhat agree. I also think players will take risks for the love of the game.

Aaron Hernandez was a murderer. Concussions don't make you a murderer.
