Diagnosis?
The current Diagnosis section states
 * "Diagnosis of CTE cannot be made in living individuals. A clear diagnosis is possible during an autopsy.[17] Though there are signs and symptoms some researchers associate with CTE, there is no definitive test to prove the existence in a living person."

However, the Bennet Omalu article includes this:
 * "Omalu is lead author in a study published in November 2017[19] that for the first time confirmed CTE in a living person. A chemical tracer, FDDNP, binds to tau proteins, detectable by positron emission tomography, and associated with the distinctive topographical distributions characteristic of CTE. Tested on at least a dozen former NFL players, it was confirmed postmortem in former linebacker Fred McNeill.[20]"
 * [19]
 * [20]

It seems to me that the Diagnosis section in this article needs an update but again, I'm not a subject matter expert and would prefer confirmation by one who knows before BEing BOLD. -- Eliyahu S Talk 13:23, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Separate articles for professional wrestling & American football
I think there's enough cases and knowledge out there about the condition to merit articles specifically about CTE in both professional wrestling and American football. The Optimistic One (talk) 11:52, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Cheerleading?
Why would CTE be an issue in cheerleading? This needs a bit of explanation, because it's not obvious. Ianhowlett (talk) 18:06, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
