Jerry Jones loves to talk. He's one of the more entertaining owners in all of sports specifically because he loves to talk. Sometimes, though, he says things that, well, they make you wonder why he talks so much. Tuesday was one of those times. owner Jerry Jones told reporters it's absurd 2 say there's a relationship betwn CTE and playing football,saying not enough data daniel kaplan (@dkaplanSBJ) After being asked if he believes there is enough data to establish a link between CTE and football, he responded thusly, :No, thats Chris Tierney Jersey absurd. Theres no data that in any way creates a knowledge. Theres no way that you could have made a comment that there is an a sociation and some type of a sertion. In most things, you have to back it up by studies. And in this particular case, we all know how medicine is. Medicine is evolving. I grew up being told that aspirin was Joonas Donskoi Jersey not good. Im told that one a day is good for you ... Im saying that changed over the years as weve had more research and knowledge.So we are very supportive of the research ... We have for years been involved in trying to make it safer, safer as it pertains to head injury. We have millions of people that have played this game, have millions of people that are at various ages right now that have no i sues at all. None at all. So thats where we are. That didnt alter at all what were doing about it. Were gonna Patrick Marleau Jersey do everything we can to understand it better and make it safer.Jones wants studies to back up the link. Studies like the one done by Dr. Bennet Omalu that found chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in the brains of Mike Webster,Terry Long,Andre Waters,Justin Strzelczyk andTom McHale in the early 2000s.CTE was also in the brains of twelve more former players between 2008 San Jose Sharks Jersey and 2010. It was in the brain of Jovan Belcher, the former linebacker that killed his girlfriend before killing himself in the parking lot of Arrowhead Stadium. The Department of Veterans Affairs and researchers from Boston University in September that they had found evidence of CTE in 96 percent of NFL players and in 79 percent of all football players that they had examined. In 2016, there have already been two more former NFL players (former safety Tyler Sash and former quarterback Ken Stabler) who have had evidence of CTE found in their brains.Even an NFL employee (senior vice president for health Jeff Miller) the existence of a link between CTE and football a mere eight days ago. Noted medical expert Jerry Jones may not think there is a link between CTE and football, but researchers all over the country keep finding it in the brains of former players -- 96 percent of them as recently as six months ago.Jerry wants to see more research on the Justin Braun Jersey subject of CTE and football. That's fine. Everyone should. It's an important subject. But how many more football players have to die and then show evidence of CTE in their brains before it becomes acceptable to admit a link exists?
