Former Penn captain who killed self had C.T.E.
Yours truly at CBS. Harrowing stuff, to be sure. Yes, there are thousands upon thousands of football players who do not kill themselves every year, and how many of the current players don't contract CTE is something we won't know for decades. But it's undeniable that it's happening to players right now, and they don't have to be worn-out shells of men after long NFL careers. They can be just 21 and juniors in I-AA ball, just like Owen Thomas. So where does football go from here?
