CTE controversy
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in athletes (and others) with a history of repetitive brain trauma, including symptomatic concussions as well as asymptomatic subconcussive hits to the head.

In November, 2016, CFL commissioner Jeffrey Orridge said there was no conclusive link between playing in the CFL and developing CTE. Currently, there is a $200 million class action lawsuit in Canada's courts on behalf of CFL players seeking monetary compensation for CTE. Orridge has received some media criticism for this denial.

Back on March 15, 2016, the National Football League (NFL) recognized the link between playing in the NFL and developing CTE. The NFL received criticism for the timing of this recognition, since it came only after a court settlement with former NFL players that protected the NFL from having to pay damages for any future cases of CTE that their players may develop.
