Lower levels of football are the safer ones though. In terms of reducing CTE it would be better to remove NFL then College. Pee wee football is the safest level of football.

Additionally, people in college and NFL have played waaay more football which increases the chance of CTE. 95% of HS football players will not play beyond HS.

Removing HS football and lower wouldn’t make a big difference and would negatively impact the most people.

Tell that to all of the HS players who have gotten concussions playing football. I struggle to think of anyone I know who didn't get at least one concussion playing HS football.

I never did, played 4 years including two years varsity

It hasn't done your logical reasoning any favors though.

You seem to be suggesting a concussion is automatic thing for a high school football player.

And I started all four years, The first two years on both offense and defense.

This is nonsense, the numbers of people involved in these are orders of magnitude different
