This is very concerning as the prevailing stereotype was that CTE is a condition that affects the more physical aspects of football, particularly the defensive players. However, this report makes it clear that even quarterbacks and wide receivers are now at a very high risk of CTE. After such a piece of harrowing news went public, fans had extreme reactions to it. They flooded Twitter with their thoughts and opinions on this.

Fans did not hold back when it came to their reactions. There were multiple reactions who spoke about the study. One fan wanted to know which football positions had been studied.

Furthermore, fans also spoke about the ignorance of the NFL about such important news.

There were also comments about how the NFL is mainly a money-driven league.

Finally, this fan exclaimed at the severity of this news.

It seems like fans think the NFL might need to make news as crucial as this more public. However, with the recent coming events of the Super Bowl, it is very unlikely that such disturbing news will be given any attention. Furthermore, it would be interesting to see how such grievous news impacts the way family-oriented players like Mahomes play the sport.

Such scary news seems like something the NFL should address as soon as possible. However, only time will tell how much importance a professional league will actually give to news about the possibility of its players getting permanently injured.
