GQ published an article describing the NFL’s reluctance to acknowledge Dr. Bennet Omalu’s discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in former NFL players who were originally diagnosed with dementia pugilistica. After Omalu published his results multiple times, the NFL refused to accept his work because Omalu knew nothing about professional football and the diagnosis of CTE in a former player would qualify that player for full disability earnings.
That’s a great article. Thanks for sharing it.
