Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease linked to repeated head trauma, commonly seen in athletes involved in contact sports, military veterans, and individuals with a history of concussions. It is characterized by the accumulation of tau protein in the brain, leading to symptoms such as memory loss, mood swings, aggression, and cognitive decline. CTE can only be definitively diagnosed post-mortem through brain tissue analysis. Currently, there is no cure, and prevention focuses on reducing head injuries and managing concussions effectively.
Because - in order to diagnose the condition - you need to dissect the brain after death.

Some negative points associated with football include the risk of injuries, particularly concussions, the potential for long-term health issues, such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and the culture of aggression and violence that can be perpetuated within the sport.
Encephalopathy may be reversible if the responsible factor is identified and removed or treated. Patients whose condition is the result of chronic liver disease may recover completely after the underlying cause is corrected.
Despite intensive treatment, encephalopathy caused by acute liver inflammation (fulminant hepatitis) is fatal for as many as 80% of patients. Those with chronic liver failure often die in hepatic coma.
