Former NFL player Chris Borland has blasted the league for hiding the risks of catastrophic brain damage.

Borland, who retired from the sport after playing his only season for the San Francisco 49ers, appeared in a public service announcement and discussed why he left while denouncing how the NFL allegedly spent years trying to play down and discredit research into chronic traumatic encephalopathy, known as CTE.
