Rob Gronkowski, Ex-Patriots Star, Claims CTE Is Fixable: ‘I Fixed Mine’ (via NESN)
One day after an interview aired in which Rob Gronkowski estimated he’s suffered 20 concussions, five of which he called blackouts, the former New England Patriots tight end made quite a claim about CTE.
Over the last few years, knowledge about chronic traumatic encephalopathy has increased, particularly in relation to football. There still is some uncertainty surrounding it, though, especially in terms of a potential cure. Chris Nowinski, one of the leading medical minds regarding CTE, tweeted to Gronkowski that while he appreciated the 30-year-old’s bravery to talk about his head trauma, there isn’t actually a fix for CTE at the moment. Gronkowski countered that by not only saying CTE is fixable, but that he fixed his own troubles with CTE.
It is fixable. I fixed mine. There are plenty of methods in this world that allow the brain to recover from severe damage. That is also why I would allow my kid to play football.
