Proof of CTE in players shows it's serious - make safety our priority

Proof of CTE in players shows it's serious - make safety our priority | NZ Warriors Rugby League | Scoop.it
The announcement that deceased rugby league players suffered from degenerative brain disease will, at the least, make the game safer for future generations.
Peter Mellow's insight:
I love sport. Grew up with both Rugby's, Union and League. Played myself until I left school. My sons have played, but I'm glad that them don't now. This is serious, and I am torn as perhaps I should not watch Rugby League now, knowing that some of the players are going to have health challenges down the road. Perhaps it is time to retire these sports as we have the gladiators and bull fighting.
