NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has just made an extremely serious statement. Agent Allan Walsh, along with various NHL stakeholders, has called for his immediate firing (or resignation).
Bettman's denial that head hits can lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a severe progressive degeneration of brain cells due to multiple head traumas, should lead to his immediate removal.
He endangers player safety and makes a mockery of the NHL.
Gary Bettman denies the link between head hits and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)
This is the disease discussed in the popular film "Concussion," starring Will Smith, and it is a condition now recognized by the NFL.
Following Gary Bettman's extremely embarrassing statements, his right-hand man, Bill Daly, added fuel to the fire:
Bill Daly also denies the link between head hits and CTE, claiming that «the science is lacking.»
No Bill, the science is absolutely not lacking.
It's becoming difficult to believe what comes out of the mouths of Bill Daly and Gary Bettman, with statements like these.
In any case, let's just hope that the National Hockey League can get things right to prevent other former NHL players from developing this terrible medical condition.
Do you think the CTE issue should lead to Gary Bettman's firing, as Allan Walsh is demanding?
