North Carolina head football coach Larry Fedora spoke to reporters on Wednesday about the game of football being under attack. He explained how the downfall in football will mark a decline in the United States.
Fedora does not believe that CTE is caused by playing football and seems to think everyone learns life lessons from football. Sounds like the words of a man who might have a touch of CTE.

While there is no arguing that there are life lessons learned from playing football, it would be a little far fetched to say there will be a decline in the United States if football no longer existed.
As it stands right now, there is still plenty of interest in the sport and it’s not going away anytime soon. Don’t tell Fedora that, we need more of this sound bites from him.
