Imagine your dream job was secretly destroying your brain and the terrifying cost of that dream was a rapid spiral into neurological decline...This isn't a hypothetical. It's the heartbreaking reality of professional athletes in the National Football League.A study found CTE (traumatic brain injury) in 99% of deceased NFL players brains, yet evidence suggests that the National Football League knowingly concealed long term effects of CTE to thousands of athletes and families for DECADES. ———But this is more than just a sports story; it's a critical examination of truth, deception, and the price we're willing to pay for entertainment.🔴Why does the NFL continue to deny the link between football and long-term brain injuries?🔴How did the NFL attempt to influence research on CTE by funneling donations to the NIH?🔴What legal or ethical obligation does the NFL have to its players regarding head injuries?🔴Does the NFL ACTUALLY care about professional players or are they obscuring the truth to protect football's profitability?
