Manhattan Shooting Raises Questions on NFL's Role in CTE

A gunman who opened fire in a Manhattan office building on Monday left behind a note blaming the National Football League (NFL) for his brain injury, says New York Mayor Eric Adams.

The note suggested the shooter believed he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain condition associated with contact sports. In an interview with CBS Mornings, Adams revealed that the suspect attributed his condition to playing in the NFL.

The tragic incident took place at a skyscraper housing the NFL headquarters, further amplifying the ongoing discussions about the league's responsibility in safeguarding players from long-term injuries.
