I hate sensationalist blog sites. Even if they present a valid point, when they say stuff like "insane bill" and "It’s so appalling… so unbelievable… so blatantly corrupt… that you’ve got to see it to believe it" it just makes whatever they're saying seem stupid. Just tell me what happened and let me decide how bad it is. They barely even explained what the bill does.

I'm interested in how much data they have on football players with cte because in this article they only seem to talk about Webster. It's a logical to associate football and brain damage but unless they got some significant data backing up their claim not enough people will care. Everybody knows football is dangerous but it would take some good research to quantify the magnitude of its association with brain damage.
