There's a pressing need for more research to establish a connection between years of play and the risk of developing CTE, especially in soccer, which lacks sufficient brain donation data. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of mental health issues and compulsive behaviors in athletes, drawing parallels with other contact sports like boxing and MMA.In this clip
