Extra: CTE Impact Once Again Weighs Heavy On The World Of Sports

Earlier this week, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre made
headlines with the announcement that he was diagnosed with
Parkinson's disease—a moment that has brought renewed attention to
the health concerns of former professional athletes. The former
Green Bay Packer endured numerous concussions during his storied
career, leading to symptoms such as memory loss and depression,
both of which he has spoken about publicly. Neuroscientist and
retired professional wrestler, Dr. Chris Nowinski joined FOX News
host Chris Foster for an in-depth discussion. Their conversation
covered the implications of Favre's diagnosis, the broader dangers
associated with contact sports, and the lingering effects of head
injuries on athletes long after retirement . Dr. Nowinski also
commented on the recent debate over Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua
Tagovailoa's career following another concussion and a new Harvard
University survey indicating that one-third of retired NFL players
suspect they have Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).   We
often must cut interviews short during the week, but
we thought you might like to hear the full interview.  
Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire
interview with Dr. Chris Nowinski and get more of his take the
NFL’s CTE crisis and what he feels can be done to protect athletes.
