The topic of concussions within the world of football from youth leagues all the way to the NFL are not going away. The discussion of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) has been at the forefront of the issues the NFL has been tackling over the last several years. The disease, within the sport of football, is believed to be created by so many head shots over the course of football games which can create depression, dementia and memory loss.
In September of 2015, PBS documented that 91 NFL players were tested and they found out that 87 of those deceased NFL players had CTE.
