Is there a looming CTE crisis for rugby, or is it already a significant issue?
- dfxm12 3y agoCTE is looming over any athlete of a contact sport. This lawsuit might be a crisis: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/nfl-style-lawsuit-brain-injury-concerns-hang-rugby-102639710 https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/nfl-style-lawsuit-br... However, when you consider the NFL, which had a similar lawsuit, it is making more money than ever and not having trouble recruiting people to play, so I dunno. The sport itself will likely be OK. As an aside, this article features Chris Nowinski, who is a leader in this field. If this topic interests you, you might enjoy reading his book Head Games or following him on socials.
