If you played 4 years of high school football you have CTE

 

[BEATDOWNS]

CTE is bad MKAY

I think everybody here knows all of this stuff. There’s so much CTE in contact sports it’s impossible to be unaware of it. Especially for fans of this sport. And it’s only going to get worse.

It could be anything when it comes to Tony
Usually the symptoms of a long hard career is felt years after
CTE isn’t the only brain disorder

CTE is horrible
A risk that comes with playing high inpact sports
I doubt many on Sherdog didn’t know this stuff

So Conor's got CTE?

So Conor's got CTE?

Yeah. Jordan Parsons had it. If you had asked those close to him if they thought he had it in the months prior to his death, I doubt they would have said yes. There are degrees. Jordan only had one tko loss if I’m not mistaken and no diagnosed concussions.
