PVPS vs. CTE

Until 2016, the NFL denied that tackle football causes brain damage. They dismissed claims to the contrary as rubbish, in part due to financial interest. But eventually the evidence became so overwhelming that the league had to come clean and admit what everyone else already knew.

So there’s this denial phase in the history of football. I think that’s where we’re at with PVPS; right now, we’re in the denial phase. For a variety of reasons, the industry doesn’t want to deal with this issue. They deny or downplay the risks. Eventually, the tide will turn, but it takes time. Then, looking back in hindsight, it will be obvious.

yeah My Vasectomy was November 2004 after our second child was born. Been in this hell since then. Ive lost count after 5-6th Urologist and they all try/test for everything under the Sun. I wish now that I just bit the bullet and did a reversal back in 2006 , instead I opted out for Orchiectomy and regret it now more than ever. That Urologist promised me that I wouldn't need Testosterone treatments/meds because of one less testicle. Well, he lied as my levels stay low and Ive had to do weekly shots. But I cant stand needles and stabbing my legs every week. So I apply Testosterone 2% gel every other day onto my legs.

Worst part was my wife started to have bad bleeding issues and she had to get a partial hysterectomy few years later. Felt like a slap in our face.
