Love to see all the CTE "science"in regards to Soccer,Boxing,MMA,Skiing and people who've never participated in sports (yep they found it in them as well)
None of those sports involve people colliding each other at high speeds time and time again. The only thing football can really do is be like rugby and eliminate protective equipment such as helmet and pads altogether. Rugby players can't tackle each other with the forcefulness that football players do without risking serious injury every other play due to the lack of protective equipment. But Rugby players get CTE too. And American football players are a lot bigger and faster. However you look at it, there is no solution to the problem without drastically changing the elements of the game.

Some certainly involve repeated blows to the head and collisions with other objects to the head at a high rates of speed.
Football has changed dramatically in regards to high speed collision involving the helmet and head area.I'd say the vast majority I witness in the NFL or college
involve the upper torso in between the knees and head.
And are lineman REALLY colliding into each other at a "high rate of speed"?
