CTE happens in sports without pads, like soccer and rugby. However, Im assuming it’s worse in American football.
From what i understand they found that pads and helmets meant guys could hit each other harder and more often, which lead to more minor cte/tbi events that accumulate over time.
you typically don't full-tilt headbutt another 250 pound guy in those sports.
it's not that injuries happen at all, it's the rate, severity, and long-time coverup.
