NFL Player Denies CTE, Asthma

For the NFL, it's March 21st. Here's what's happening.

New York Giants running back Cam Scott's abode has sparked a major controversy by claiming

that chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE and asthma are not.

Real conditions

The 24-year-old athlete made the remarks during a recent podcast appearance, dismissing CTE

as just an excuse in saying people with asthma. Should simply breathe more air.

The comments came up when the host asked Scott abode directly about CTE, a brain disease

linked to repeated head impacts and football.

Scott abode, who played college ball at Sacramento State and Arizona State, doubled down by

agreeing asthma is spake 2.

Social media exploded after a short clip of the exchange racked up millions of views

with many fans and commenters piling on the ridicule.

Still, some came to his defense, pointing out he's a running back, not a medical expert,

and people should ease up.

Several sources like the Mayo Clinic describe CTE as a progressive brain disorder that kills

nerve cells and can only be confirmed after death, through autopsy.

It's shown up in several XNFL players, asthma, on the other hand, narrows airways and

makes breathing tough for millions around the world.

Scott abode impressed as a fourth-round pick in the 2025 draft, rushing for 410 yards

and five touchdowns in his rookie season, before an ankle injury sidelined him early.

So far, neither he nor the Giants have responded to the backlash, keeping the conversation alive.
