They never tell you. This is my problem with the whole CTE thing. I have never found a study that uses a control group. Also CTE is only detectable if they cut your brain open and that can only happen if you agree to let them do it. Well who is more likely to donate their brains than people who think they have CTE?
A control group? We aren't trying to prove it exists or doesn't exist....we KNOW it exists and we know WHY it exists.
Based on what scientists have learned from those who have allowed their brains to be examined, it's a pretty goddamn safe bet that most people who have played in the NFL in contact positions have at least some signs of CTE in their brains, especially those susceptible to repetitive sub-concussive contact such as linemen, running backs, and linebackers.
