Well yeah. We have been watching cfb being played for years and never knew that the sickle cell genetic condition was so rampant and dangerous to the players.

This is a bombshell adn will take some time for others to wrap thier heads around it.

Sickle cell is extremely common in the black community, it changes the shape of red blood cells from a circle to a sickle.

When this happens, the blood can't carry oxygen efficiently, which is why it's a problem in sports. If sufficient oxygen isn't getting to the brain you can pass out or in the worst cases, go into a coma or die.
