This forum is so negative. It’s like some people are so unhappy in life all they can do is spew negativity.
On topic: the more attention that is brought to the CTE issue, the more likely research will increase and potential of treatment/mitigation will arise.
The fact you think an issue that’s been getting attention getting more attention is somehow a reason to react negatively, says all that is needed about you.
I think CTE is something everyone is aware of but tries not to think about because they believe eventually a solution will come along.
The solution is to get back to the roots of mma. No gloves , no pressure on fighters to put on a war for the fans. More emphasis on using your martial art or fighting style to win in the most efficient way possible while taking the least amount of damage
I dont give a fuck about a solution. I prefer my fighters to stumble and mumble a lot later in their careers so I can feel superior because I dont have thinky pains in my nog nog.
You think old school mma is the answer? Maybe if the fighters from the first couple of ufc didn’t have any problems with CTE but those guys were getting concussions and brain damage too. This was going on even back then. We just don’t see a lot of fighters after they retires its easy to turn a blind eye to.
The only solution is to stop getting hit in the head. The brain was not designed to take repeated blows and be bouncing around inside your skull.
