And the same quack doctor (a Guadalajara-educated rheumatologist -- definitely not a neurologist) that ran these studies to hide the affects of CTE was the same asshole that was defending MLB's steroid policy during the early 2000's.
What an amazing coincidence that the same guy happens to be an expert on both steroids and brain injuries when it benefits billion-dollar sports empires.
Just for anyone who was confused as I was...the submitted URL is a sidebar for the massive article markrote links to. That said, I like the submitted URL because it's another example of how bad data (in this case, the database of concussions sloppily put together by the NFL) can be combined with old-fashioned research and reporting (looking up old football game news articles) to find damning evidence.
Or, more broadly speaking, never trust a dataset without corroborating it with your own research.
