This is very concerning as the prevailing stereotype was that CTE is a condition that affects the more physical aspects of football, particularly the defensive players. However, this report makes it clear that even quarterbacks and wide receivers are now at a very high risk of CTE. After such a piece of harrowing news went public, fans had extreme reactions to it. They flooded Twitter with their thoughts and opinions on this.
Fans react to the higher risk of CTE
Fans did not hold back when it came to their reactions. There were multiple reactions who spoke about the study. One fan wanted to know which football positions had been studied.
This can be misleading because we don’t know what position of players they studied.

Furthermore, fans also spoke about the ignorance of the NFL about such important news.
This should be the main story and focus of the NFL world but you won't hear anything

There were also comments about how the NFL is mainly a money-driven league.
The nfl doesn’t care about player health, they care about money. If players have to get concussions to play football so they make money. That’s what’s going to happen because player injuries aren’t going to stop the fans from watching.

Finally, this fan exclaimed at the severity of this news.
