Paul McCrory, former CISG head propped up by the sports industry as a #CTE & #concussion expert, has 9 more papers RETRACTED, including 1 for lying about critical historical concussion guidelines. He's led efforts to say sports aren't the cause of #CTE.🤬medpagetoday.com/neurology/head…
The #NFL proudly gave McCrory and his #CTE denier buddies $$$$$ to study jockeys under the laughably ridiculous premise that jockey head impact exposure is similar to NFL players, so if jockeys don't have CTE, NFL CTE is not from playing football. espn.com/espn/otl/story…
Here is a direct quote from McCrory worth reading. Imagine why this study is being funded by sports leagues... so Big Tobacco. 
Another: McCrory talked about how tau, the protein that causes CTE by strangling neurons... is simply "part of the aging process" & present in all brains.
"Oh, my God, that's just ludicrous and misleading. It's embarrassing that a neurologist would say that," said Steven DeKosky
