When Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah in December sustained his fifth known concussion in six years, he promptly thought of Junior Seau — the former NFL great who had been “larger than life” as Abdullah grew up in Southern California.
After Seau died by suicide in 2012, he was found to have the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy — among numerous other NFL players who had CTE.
If you scoff at that science, which was evident long before the movie “Concussion” enlightened a whole new audience, The Flat Earth Society may have a place for you.
