Substitute 'tobacco' for 'concussions' and 'cancer' for 'degenerative
brain ailment' - sounds familiar. There may not be evidence that
/this/ hit to the head caused /that/ brain lesion. But certainly
there is enough evidence across sports to figure out that there's
something going on. There's a reason it's called 'pugilistic dementia'.
