TBI is awful but I don't see why it'd be off the table? They've not shied from sensitive topics in their whole history.

isnt it also in their standard of "bringing light to terribly true things" by making satire of it?

If they see this as "making fun of disabilities" - that might be more on them.

I think "bringing light to terribly true things" is an appropriate description for referencing the detrimental medical effects of professional football on the players.
