'Clinical relevance: One in three former NFL players believe they have CTE, raising concerns about the mental health toll of that belief. Many of these former players report cognitive problems, depression, mood swings, and chronic pain.' I wonder how much suffering is needed for people to recognise the tragedy of playing football - one of the most dangerous human activities, if the most dangerous one. One brain concussion after another leading to unimaginable problems that ex players face, together with their families. And yet, all keep on pretending the problem was not there, even the platforms that fight to preserve democracy. Well, democracy is about truth first and foremost, and in order to fight lies and fake news of today's fascist takeover, one should face the truth, no matter how unpopular and above all, express solidarity with the victims of our social structures.
