NFL Widow Was Furious With NFLPA for Blaming CTE Awareness for Suicides
“As a scientist, I am disgusted. As an NFL widow who witnessed unimaginable suffering, I am furious,” Eleanor M. Perfetto wrote in February 2026 regarding the NFLPA's claim that CTE awareness may contribute to suicides. “My husband, Ralph Wenzel, was having memory lapses and cognitive problems.” More than 90% of the 376 former NFL players whose brains were studied were found to have CTE.
