re: Ken Stabler's brain

Speaking of how CTE affects other sports like soccer, it will be interesting to see if football's problems push the next generation of athletes toward sports with fewer concussion issues.

Will elite HS athletes start shift toward basketball and even baseball? As a baseball fan, I wouldn't mind it a bit.

There is a real chance of CTE pushing football into boxing territory - football could end up as a marginal sport practiced exclusively by folks who have no other economic options. If middle class parents pull out their kids and their monetary support, football as we know it could die.
