(CNN) The family of Frank Gifford says the revered sportscaster and NFL
star suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a progressive brain
disease linked to the types of brain injuries and head trauma common in
football.
.
"While Frank passed away from natural causes this past August at the age
of 84, our suspicions that he was suffering from the debilitating effects
of head trauma were confirmed when a team of pathologists recently
diagnosed his condition," the family said in a statement released
Wednesday.
.
Gifford's family said they decided to have his brain studied "in hopes of
contributing to the advancement of medical research concerning the link
between football and traumatic brain injury." And they decided to make his
diagnosis public to honor Gifford's commitment to promoting player safety,
dating back to his involvement in creating the NFL Players Association, a
union representing players' interests, in 1956.
.
"His entire adult life Frank was a champion for others, but especially for
those without the means or platform to have their voices heard," the
statement said.
.
CTE can be diagnosed only after death.
.
Gifford's diagnosis comes amid a growing focus on the risks athletes face
from suffering repeated concussions, and just hours after the NFL admitted
its concussion protocols had failed when St. Louis Rams quarterback Case
Keenum kept playing Sunday even after his head slammed into the field.
