New York Giants running back, Cam Scatabo, is making headlines after some controversial

remarks about chronic, traumatic, and cephalopathy, or CTE.

The standout rookie from last season, who missed time with a season ending ankle injury,

recently appeared on a podcast and dismissed CTE as not real.

And just an excuse, he also made similar comments about asthma.

On the Bring the Juice podcast, Scatabo doubled down in a back and forth with the host, suggesting

these conditions were overblown.

While some listeners wondered if he was serious, the exchange caught many off-guard coming from

a pro football player.

Fans and observers reacted with surprise and criticism, given CTE's links to repeated

head trauma in the sport.

The topic hits close to home for players and families affected by long-term brain injuries.

Scatabo quickly addressed the backlash on X, formerly Twitter, apologizing and calling

it a tasteless joke.

He expressed regret for any offense cost.

Now back in training, Cam under new head coach John Harbaugh, Scatabo aims to focus

on football and build on his strong rookie year as the Giants.

Gear up for the season.
