So he goes, the problem is going to be your airbags and your resi ramps.
And all the stuff that you're doing to make it safer for your body is actually where you have more repetitive injuries.
So highest rate of CTE is female soccer.
Percentage-wise.
Not the highest number total, but the highest percentage.
And it's from headbutting the ball.

And the doctor was clear.
He's like, I'm not, it's not a sexist, it's just like, if you look at this, this is just...
