HOWEVER, in the study, they acknowledge this, and also state they have 1400 additional brains to test, that were not self selected.

This means that even if all those other brains test negative for CTE (which is highly unlikely), a football player's risk for CTE is 9%...

HOWEVER however, it is not "99% of football players have CTE," and headlines like that give ammo to those who want to call the study flawed.
