The documentary on PBS? That just opened a lot of eyes to the dangers of concussions.
You know who else is at an incredibly high risk? Guys who skateboard and do freestyle BMX:

Doctors say late BMX legend Dave Mirra had CTE
BMX icon Dave Mirra, who died in February, suffered from the type of chronic brain damage that has shown up in the brains of dozens of football players, a University of Toronto neuropathologist has concluded. Multiple neuropathologists confirmed the diagnosis.
Now think of all the skateboarders who DO NOT ride with helmets and eat shit on the pavement all the time. It's only a matter of time before that industry is awash in guys who have CTE.
Football and hockey? Just the tip of the iceberg man. . . .
