Summary
T.J. Ward, a former NFL safety and Super Bowl champion, criticized comedian Druski for a skit that mocked chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Ward, who played 10 seasons in the NFL, expressed concern that the skit trivialized the serious condition. He argued that CTE is uniquely mocked compared to other life-threatening diseases. Druski’s skit depicted a football player with CTE symptoms, which Ward found offensive. The article notes that while some humor was present, the overall tone was inappropriate given the disease’s severity.
