To be clear again—because you and others continue to ignore this rather crucial point—the issue is not "concussions," the issue is
repetitive brain trauma. All the available evidence rather overwhelmingly shows that those who regularly participate in hockey fights are at very high risk to sustain
repetitive brain trauma. Based on everything that we know, regular participation in hockey fights is much more likely to result in CTE than suffering concussions caused by hockey plays. This is because of the dramatically higher number of incidents of
repetitive brain trauma that occur in hockey fights.
Why is this so hard to grasp?
