Driving is just transportation, and severe injury or harm is not an expected part of the driving experience.  Violent trauma is part of the football experience (glorified, even), and the assumption of each risk is not equivalent.

Having said that, people still do risky things all the time...so what do we know.

I agree with ColoradoTree's evaluation of the moral responsibility Stanford has as an institution that sponsors a college football team, and as a Stanford supporter, I think we should support and hold Stanford to such a responsibility--to protect the student-athletes from harm in the course of a game.

How far is the imaging research along into being able to detect CTE?  What's the major obstacle...?
