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...
