If you happen to be watching this on a Sunday, Monday, or Thursday and live in the United States, there’s a good chance you’re watching NFL football tonight. 20 million people on average tune into these games, myself included - go Eagles. It was my wife who captured why, I think - football players are simply the best athletes out there in terms of all around ability - strength, speed, power, and so on.
But of course there’s something else that draws us to these games - something a bit more primal - it’s, for lack of a better word, the hits. The tackles, the sacks, the bone-crunching collisions. And, if we here at Impact Factor had more of a licensing budget, you can be sure I’d be showing you some recent highlights right now.
But it’s hard to fully enjoy the games if you’ve done a bit of reading into chronic traumatic encephalopathy - CTE - and the effect these collisions have on the individuals who play professional Football.
