In the past, men were much more physically active and played contact sports, fought, and did other dangerous activities with more regularity.
Were men in the past killing themselves due to CTE? No? Well then obviously this is a fake media gaslight to distract from some other more plausible explanation.
And yes, "women in sport, lol", which is a) the only reason the media cares about this one, and b) a significant compounding factor that will be hushed up...
But not just because women are more vulnerable to concussion. No, I'd say it's more the fact that this woman was a soldier, a lesbian, and obviously had not coped well with lockdown, or with a faltering sports career. No, we [the media] won't mention those things. We'll just blame it on CTE, and CTE alone...
This was the same with the other examples the media here likes to cite - i.e. a faltering career, generally some sort of "bad blood" with a former club, lived alone, had other personal issues and/or relationship breakdown.
But no, we can't admit to any of that, because those things are "too hard". Let's just blame it on repeated concussions instead. What a joke...
The entire CTE thing feels like a massive over correction to the NFL's "race norming" scandal they lost on, where they assumed blacks had lower brain function to deny they had any brain damage from the sport that is like 85% black.
Because now its being used for fucking every single misstep any athlete ever has, from Wrestling to Volleyball. Covid just had great timing to ride the wave of it.
Its always funny when head injuries absolve someone or don't.
Almost all serial killers have a massive head injury as a child, but they are condemned (except for horny women) but athletes get a pass on their violence for the same reasons. Except Benoit, who is literally unpersoned from reality.
Its probably the most common element they have, as the McDonald Triad was disproven a while back, but its not really dwelled upon because serial killers are mostly a previous generation thing (thanks to things like DNA and other forms of increased surveillance they rarely get enough to qualify and its been theorized they evolved into mass shooters instead) and nobody wants to seem like they are giving them an out.
Here is the biggest outright study done on it. Though if you search up serial killers and head trauma you can find a lot of talk about it because if you go down a list of all the "popular" ones you will end up checking off "major childhood head injury" on most all of them.
The study found 1/5 for it, that's a pretty significant common element to find considering the otherwise diversity found in the group. And, if I can insert my personal opinion, I'd wager that if you narrowed it down to what people think of when you say "serial killer" (A Bundy for example) and removed the random crime/gang killers who just got a high score it would likely be a lot higher.
Though I hadn't seen the study had also linked autism at a much higher rate which is interesting. But considering the study was being done right as the DSM-5 was coming out, which gutted Autism as a diagnosis and made it far stricter to diagnose, I also put less weight into it.

Starting to think CTE is an anti-testosterone psyop.
Only diagnosable after you die? Riiiight.

Chris Benoit murdering his family didn't help matters.

First I'm hearing this about serial killers.
Its probably the most common element they have, as the McDonald Triad was disproven a while back, but its not really dwelled upon because serial killers are mostly a previous generation thing (thanks to things like DNA and other forms of increased surveillance they rarely get enough to qualify and its been theorized they evolved into mass shooters instead) and nobody wants to seem like they are giving them an out.
No, I mean where did you hear the head-injury thing being associated with serial killers?
I'm over 40 and I've NEVER heard this.

The media are not obsessed. They are owned.
And their owners dictate what is published.
Grow up.
