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

Concussions and sub-concussive trauma both cause short term damage to the brain, but they may also result in long term damage such as CTE or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. The key question is how to avoid this long term damage and which is the more major cause. – https://youtu.be/k7BdLyB-Duc
