What do we know about genetic links to CTE? There are a lot of theories, but not a lot of answers.

I was asked to tackle this topic for Fansided.com (the article is live so please check out out), but I also wanted to produce a bonus episode for the listeners here. 

I took a two-pronged approach for this story, looking at it from a player's perspective and from a science perspective as well. What I found out is that the waters are a lot more muddied than you might think based on a few select headlines you might see (Scientists link gene to CTE!).

The fact is that many researchers believe some people might be genetically predisposed to getting CTE, but they don't really know what set of genes might be in play. But it's confusing, and some players are putting a little more stock in the idea than they should be.

So please listen to the bonus episode, then head over to Fansided to read the whole story. Thanks!
