This is a reliable source because the new york times has been around for a long time and has gained a great reputation for having accurate information. The source is about Dr Ann McKee, a neuropathologist that studies several brains of N.F.L. players that actually had the disease. She examined 202 brains and found a wide range of results and broke them down into positions. The liman had the most deaths caused by CTE. I plan on using this source by linking the NFL to the cause of CTE to all the players. I’m also going to use the facts that the source contains and brimming them up and well in my research paper.

This is a reliable source because it is straight from the database and nothing on the database is false. The source is about the origins of CTE and how it all started. It even talks about the evolution of CTE in the NFL. I Am going to use this source to talk about CTE and where it came from and how it is caused. I’m basically going to educate the reader about cte.

This is a reliable source because it comes straight from the database and everysource on there is verified. The source is about the actions the NFL took when CTE started to become a problem. It talks about how little effort they put into the situation and when they did for the ex players that had CTE. the way the league took action, the players could honestly sue them because they treated them like dirt on the bottom of a shoe. I am going to use this source to talk about the league and how they must’ve thought that CTE was a big deal. It seems like they were more worried about the money standpoint rather than the health standpoint.

Hook; the NFL is one of the most entertaining sports in America, yet this league puts these very talented athletes at risk every single game and practice. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy known as CTE, is the disease that these players can get. This disease has crashed families and it wont stop happening until the league steps up and makes it a priority to fix it.

Research question; is the NFL the main source of how people are catching CTE?

Thesis; The NFL is the main cause of the cte disease because of all the contact that goes on, because of the number of cases that have up, and lastly the league is putting no effort into fixing the problem.

Topic sentence; there have been several players at all different positions that have contracted the disease from playing.
