CEREBROSPINALECTOMYBroadcast: "He has played two hundred and fourteen straight games." The booth presents that as a statistic. In my clinic that sentence is an exposure history. Be honest: have you said this? Send this to whoever quotes the iron-man stat every year.
EXPLAINED (ACCURACY-CHECKED)
Cumulative exposure to repetitive head impacts — rather than any single diagnosed concussion — is the exposure variable of interest in contact-sport neurology; games played is a crude proxy for it.
Established sports-neurology framing: cumulative repetitive head impact exposure as the variable of interest; no claim about any individual.
