A lingering question relating to CTE that I was hoping someone could answer for me is whether there is a difference between getting hit in average day to day life, such as a basketball hitting your head or bumping your head on a door compared to the hits in football. Is it the acceleration and deceleration that is unique to a sport like football? or is it the frequency of any hits like day to day ones? Or is it a combination? Any responses would be helpful

I imagine football will be much worse in terms of frequency and severity. Everyone is going to hit their head from time to time in everyday situations and it’s really not worth worrying about. If it were that easy to get CTE then we’d all have it.
